Summary

This study looked at how the brain's hearing center reorganizes in people with severe hearing loss in one ear who use a cochlear implant. Twenty participants, including those with implants and normal-hearing controls, underwent brain scans and hearing tests. The goal was to understand how the brain adapts to hearing with one implant, not to test a new treatment.
