Head Movements Allow Listeners Bilaterally Implanted With Cochlear Implants to Resolve Front-Back Confusions

Conclusions: Bilateral implantation can offer CI listeners the ability to track dynamic auditory spatial difference cues and compare these changes to changes in their own head position, resulting in a reduced rate of front-back confusions. This suggests that, for these patients, estimates of auditory acuity based solely on static laboratory settings may underestimate their real-world localization abilities. (Source: Ear and Hearing)
