Summary

This study looked at how children aged 8 to 17 with two cochlear implants perceive where sounds come from in three-dimensional space. Using virtual reality and motion tracking, researchers measured how accurately the children pointed to sound sources. The goal was to understand their spatial hearing abilities, which could lead to better auditory rehabilitation programs in the future.
