In this report, we used filtered noise bands to constrain listeners' access to interaural level differences (ILDs) and interaural time differences (ITDs) in a sound source localization task. The samples of interest were listeners with single-sided deafness (SSD) who had been fit with a cochlear implant in the deafened ear (SSD-CI). The comparison samples included listeners with normal hearing and bimodal hearing, i.e. with a cochlear implant in 1 ear and low-frequency acoustic hearing in the other ear. The results indicated that (i) sound source localization was better in the SSD-CI condition than in the SSD condition, (ii) SSD-CI patients rely on ILD cues for sound source localization, (iii) SSD-CI patients show functional localization abilities within 1-3 months after device activation and (iv) SSD-CI patients show better sound source localization than bimodal CI patients but, on average, poorer localization than normal-hearing listeners. One SSD-CI patient showed a level of localization within normal limits. We provide an account for the relative localization abilities of the groups by reference to the differences in access to ILD cues.

The aim of this article was to study sound source localization by cochlear implant (CI) listeners with low-frequency (LF) acoustic hearing in both the operated ear and in the contralateral ear. Eight CI listeners had symmetrical LF acoustic hearing and 4 had asymmetrical LF acoustic hearing. The effects of two variables were assessed: (i) the symmetry of the LF thresholds in the two ears and (ii) the presence/absence of bilateral acoustic amplification. Stimuli consisted of low-pass, high-pass, and wideband noise bursts presented in the frontal horizontal plane. Localization accuracy was 23° of error for the symmetrical listeners and 76° of error for the asymmetrical listeners. The presence of a unilateral CI used in conjunction with bilateral LF acoustic hearing does not impair sound source localization accuracy, but amplification for acoustic hearing can be detrimental to sound source localization accuracy.

Controlling low frequency noise in an interior sound field is always a challenge in engineering, because it is hard to accurately localize the sound source. Spherical acoustic holography can reconstruct the 3D distributions of acoustic quantities in the interior sound field, and identify low-frequency sound sources, but the ultimate goal of controlling the interior noise is to improve the sound quality in the interior sound field. It is essential to know the contributions of sound sources to the sound quality objective parameters. This paper presents the mapping methodology from sound pressure to sound quality objective parameters, where sound quality objective parameters are calculated from sound pressure at each specific point. The 3D distributions of the loudness and sharpness are obtained by calculating each point in the entire interior sound field. The reconstruction errors of those quantities varying with reconstruction distance, sound frequency, and intersection angle are analyzed in numerical simulation for one- and two-monopole source sound fields. Verification experiments have been conducted in an anechoic chamber. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the sound source localization results based on 3D distributions of sound quality objective parameters are different from those based on sound pressure.
