Summary

This study looked at how the brain processes sound in adults who are deaf and have two cochlear implants, compared to people with normal hearing. Researchers used brain scans to see if the timing between activating the two implants affects how well the brain handles sound from both ears. The goal was to better understand the brain's role in hearing with bilateral implants.
