There is inherent challenge in characterizing localization benefit for individuals with CI for SSD. Our data demonstrate the limitations of utilization of average error as the sole metric for outcome benefit. We emphasize the importance of continued research investigating alternative outcome measures as we work toward a more refined understanding of the potential benefits and limitations of cochlear implantation for SSD.
