Topic: interaural level differences

Spatial hearing, as a fundamental aspect of auditory perception, plays a central role in our daily interactions with the auditory environment. The ability to localize sound and navigate through our environment relies primarily on two binaural cues: interaural time differences (ITDs) and interaural level differences (ILDs). However, for patients with bilateral cochlear implants (biCI), sound localization is a major challenge and ITD sensitivity is particularly poor, with most biCI patients relying almost exclusively on ILDs. Nevertheless, our recent work demonstrates that neonatally deafened ra
