Summary
This study looked at how the brain's hearing center reorganizes in people with severe hearing loss who have a cochlear implant in one ear. Researchers used PET scans to compare brain activity between 20 participants with implants and normal-hearing volunteers. The goal was to understand how the brain adapts to hearing with one implant, which may help improve future treatments.
