Adults can relearn sound localization with altered pinna cues in weeks

Evidence

Results show that while localisation performance was disrupted immediately after mould insertion, subjects regained their localisation ability over the course of weeks. Typically after 6 weeks of learning they had reached an asymptote close to their previous performance. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3053 (#expands, via linked claim)
