Deafness neuroplasticity helps or harms implant adaptation depending on communication strategy

Evidence

In summary, functional changes that occur during deafness can both enhance and degrade the ability to adapt to CI listening, perhaps depending on the communication strategy each person used while deaf. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4274 (#expands, via linked claim)
