Objective: To investigate retrospectively the frequency of usage of bimodal stimulation among cochlear implant (CI) users, as well its clinical benefit relative to unilateral use.
Design: All subjects had been monitored with the clinical Minimal Outcome Measurements test battery.
Study Samples: 103 adults with bilateral postlingual profound sensorineural hearing loss and unilateral CI use were extracted from the local database.
Conclusion: The results show that the DUET2 offers users speech perception that is equivalent to or better than the DUET. Moreover, the DUET2 offers subjective benefits above those provided by the DUET.
Background: The DUET is a combination of hearing aid and CI in one device for electric acoustic stimulation.
Background: Hearing preservation (HP) surgery was initiated more than 10 years ago for combined electric and acoustic stimulation (EAS). Preserved residual low-frequency hearing has been demonstrated to improve speech perception in noise as well as music appreciation in EAS users up to 2 years. Multiple study groups aimed to evaluate initial loss of residual hearing (RH) as a consequence of HP surgery.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study involving 89 postlingually deafened cochlear implant subjects.
Setting: Tertiary referral center.
Aims: to determine the benefit of bilateral cochlear implantation in a child on speech and language development.
Method: This child got her first implant, a Nucleus 24-system, on the right side at the age of 2.5 years.
