We revealed that bilateral and bimodal pediatric CI users with IP-II benefitted from implantation as much as bilateral users with normal anatomy. Differences in residual hearing between groups may explain the poor performance of bimodal users with normal cochlear morphology. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first study to unveil binaural performance characteristics in children diagnosed with a specific inner ear malformation subgroup.
