Fig 5. Fusion with interaural timing differences.

Fig 5

a) Mean responses in children with normal hearing (n = 24) and cochlear implants (n = 25) for conditions with varying ITDs (interaural/implant timing differences). Balanced stimuli presented for ITD-varying trials in the CI group contained a small mean ILD of-0.34 ± 0.90 dB. Children with normal hearing were more likely to hear two separate sounds as the ITD increased to ±2 ms (p < 0.0001), while CI users were not (p > 0.05). Negative values denote R/CI-1 leading ITDs. b) Individual regression functions are plotted across ITDs ranging from-2 to 2 ms. As shown in the bottom plot, ITDs did not affect fusion in 24/25 CI users (p > 0.05).
