Interference between cochlear implants (CI) and hearing aids (HA) is listener-specific, impacting bimodal hearing and electro-acoustic stimulation (EAS) benefits. Customized strategies are needed to mitigate this interference and improve outcomes for users.
Area of Science:
- Audiology
- Biomedical Engineering
- Rehabilitation Science
Background:
- Advancements in cochlear implant (CI) and hearing aid (HA) technology allow for combined acoustic and electric stimulation.
- This combined approach, known as bimodal hearing and electro-acoustic stimulation (EAS), offers potential benefits for individuals with hearing loss.
- However, some users experience interference between CI and HA, leading to reduced effectiveness or even HA discontinuation.
Conclusions:
- Bimodal interference is listener-specific, affecting the utility of bimodal hearing and EAS.
- A mixed-methods approach is recommended for a comprehensive understanding of interference.
- Customized strategies, including device programming and user training, can reduce interference and enhance benefits.
