First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a cochlear implant can help adults aged 65 and older who are deaf in one ear but have normal hearing in the other. Fifteen participants received the implant, and researchers measured how well they understood speech in noisy settings over a year. The goal was to see if the implant improved their ability to hear when noise comes from the side of the good ear.
