BEARS (Both Ears) – Virtual Reality Training to Improve Binaural Hearing in Children with Bilateral Cochlear Implants
We have designed and are trialling Virtual Reality games to help children with bilateral cochlear implants hear better.

Vocal emotion recognition in children with hearing aids and children with cochlear implants improves across childhood and adolescence, albeit at a seemingly slower pace compared to children with normal hearing.
Children with single-sided deafness and a cochlear implant (CI) can perceive and use voice cues with their CI, although they do so with less accuracy than children with bilateral CIs.
A new listening test in a virtual reality classroom measured speech intelligibility from the front and sound detection from other directions to evaluate the efficacy of automatically switching to directional microphone mode by AutoSense Sky OS in children with cochlear implants.
Children with listening difficulty have a poorer ability to differentiate target signal from background noise.
