Abstract
Localization ability, using six different listening conditions, was studied on four adult bilateral implant listeners to better understand the frequency and electrode contributions to localization. Results suggest that localization is best when the full spectrum is presented to all frequencies and that localization is severely impaired if the spectrum is split between ears. Localization is better when the high-frequency only spectrum is presented compared to when the low-frequency only spectrum is presented. However, localization is still possible with only low-frequency information. In addition, some localization is possible when stimulating only one electrode. Even the best localization performance in any conditions did not approach that of listeners with normal hearing.
