The stimulus was a noise burst presented via headphones and via a direct cable connection (CI). ILD sensitivity was measured for different interaural delays in the range induced by hearing devices. ILD sensitivity was correlated with results obtained in a sound localization task using seven loudspeakers in the frontal horizontal plane.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In the normal hearing subjects the sensitivity to interaural level differences deteriorated significantly with increasing interaural delays. In the CI group, no significant effect of interaural delays on ILD sensitivity was found. The NH subjects were significantly more sensitive to ILDs. The mean localization error in the CI group was 10.8\u00b0 higher than in the normal hearing group. No correlation between sound localization ability and ILD sensitivity was found.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Interaural delays influence the perception of ILDs. For normal hearing subjects a significant decrement in sensitivity to ILD was measured. The effect could not be confirmed in the tested SSD-CI group, probably due to a small subject group with large variations. The temporal matching of the two sides may be beneficial for ILD processing and thus sound localization for CI patients. However, further studies are needed for verification.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-023-08013-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,23]],"date-time":"2023-05-23T14:53:36Z","timestamp":1684853616000},"page":"5241-5249","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Impact of processing-latency induced interaural delay and level discrepancy on sensitivity to interaural level differences in cochlear implant users"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"280","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2432-7609","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monika","family":"K\u00f6rtje","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Timo","family":"St\u00f6ver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1295-2661","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Uwe","family":"Baumann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0327-1274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tobias","family":"Weissgerber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"8013_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"183","DOI":"10.1159\/000375394","volume":"20","author":"MF Dorman","year":"2015","unstructured":"Dorman MF, Zeitler D, Cook SJ et al (2015) Interaural level difference cues determine sound source localization by single-sided deaf patients fit with a cochlear implant.
