Table 3.

Threshold comparisons used to calculate binaural benefits.

Available Binaural Cues
ITD+ILD ITD ILD
Binaural summation NFBi – NFMonaural
Binaural squelch NSITD+ILD -NSContralateral NSITD -NSContralateral NSILD -NSContralateral
Spatial release from masking NSITD+ILD -NFBi NSITD -NFBi NSILD -NFBi

NF = Noise Front; NS = Noise Side; Bi = binaural, diotic presentation; Contralateral = monaural presentation, noise contralateral to implant; ITD+ILD = binaural presentation including ITD and ILD cues; ITD = binaural presentation with only ITD cues preserved; ILD = binaural presentation with only ILD cues preserved.
