Missing contralateral MOCR benefit may explain impaired CI speech-in-noise performance
Evidence
The potential benefits attributed here to the contralateral MOCR are unavailable to current CI users and this might explain part of their impaired performance understanding speech in challenging environments. The present results suggest that the MOC processor, or a version of it, might improve CI performance. The MOC strategy may also be adapted for use with bilateral hearing aids. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1939 (
