A mean 250\u2010 to 500\u2010Hz unaided threshold \u226490\u00a0dB HL in the contralateral, nonimplanted ear was associated with a higher probability of bimodal use (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =. 008).

Better residual hearing is associated with a higher degree of parental satisfaction with the contralateral hearing aid. This information could be useful to counsel parents of prelingually deaf children, when deciding between bimodal stimulation and simultaneous bilateral cochlear implantation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599816661705","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,2]],"date-time":"2016-08-02T21:33:29Z","timestamp":1470173609000},"page":"1028-1033","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Bimodal Stimulation in Prelingually Deaf Children"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"155","author":[{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Scorpecci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Audiology and Otosurgery Unit Bambino Ges\u00f9 Pediatric Hospital Rome Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Giannantonio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Audiology and Otosurgery Unit Bambino Ges\u00f9 Pediatric Hospital Rome Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Concettina","family":"Pacifico","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Audiology and Otosurgery Unit Bambino Ges\u00f9 Pediatric Hospital Rome Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pasquale","family":"Marsella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Audiology and Otosurgery Unit Bambino Ges\u00f9 Pediatric Hospital Rome Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2014-3520"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MAO.0b013e3182536ae2"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1084713807304357"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.24582"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Italian Society of Otorhinolaryngology, cochlear implant group document: guidelines for cochlear implant application and the organization of a cochlear implant center [in Italian]","volume":"3","author":"Quaranta A","year":"2009","journal-title":"Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","first-page":"14","article-title":"Fitting and evaluating a hearing aid for recipients of unilateral cochlear implants: the NAL approach.
