Effect of cochlear implant processing, interaural place mismatch, and spread of excitation on interaural coherence of speech signals and its implications on binaural fusion

Objective Binaural fusion - the ability to perceptually group signals presented to the two ears into a single auditory percept - can be challenging for some cochlear implant (CI) users. Binaural fusion relies, in part, on interaural coherence, or the statistical similarity of the signal across the two ears. However, as...
