Designing the BEARS (Both Ears) virtual reality training suite for improving spatial hearing abilities in teenage bilateral cochlear implantees
Teenagers with bilateral cochlear implants (CI) often suffer from poor spatial hearing abilities; a set of multi-modal (audio-visual) and multi-domain training tasks (localisation, spatial speech-in-noise and spatial music) was designed by involving teenage CI users as co-creators during the development process.
