The importance of frequency–place mismatch in the quality of sound perceived in single-sided deafness among cochlear implant recipients by Guillaume Gersdorff, Nicola Ivanovic, Masoud Zoka Assadi, Peter Nopp, Séverine Camby, Philippe Lefèbvre

“…IntroductionSingle-sided deafness (SSD) affects the ability to localize sounds and understand speech in noisy environments, significantly impacting the quality of life. Cochlear implants (CIs) have been explored as a solution for SSD, with varying success attributed to different factors, such as onset of deafness (pre- vs. post-lingual), duration of especially pre-lingual deafness, and compliance to rehab protocols, as well as the frequency-to-place mismatch, where the frequency assigned to CI electrodes does not align with the cochlea's natural tonotopy. …”
