 Absolutely. Actually, this is called bimodal hearing and it's quite common. Correct. The main difference between a hearing aid and a cochlear implant is how sound is sent to the brain. A hearing aid just amplifies the signal, whereas a cochlear implant changes it to an electrical signal so that the brain can interpret it as sound. However, both hearing aids and cochlear implants need time to analyze these sounds. And our cochlear implant system analyzes sound pretty quick, quicker than most hearing aids, in fact. So we developed a way that your audiologist can adjust the analysis time of your medel cochlear implant to match virtually any hearing aid. Yes, research suggests that it is. The closer your hearing devices are in processing and analyzing of sound, the easier it is for your brain. And that could even improve your ability to locate sounds.
