Demonstration of CI matching procedure in single sided deafness

This is a demonstration of the matching procedure our laboratory uses to create a match to the sound quality of a cochlear implant. The participant has single sided deafness with normal hearing in one ear and a cochlear implant in the other. She listens to simulations in her normal hearing ear until we fine tune it to sound like her cochlear implant. Please note: our typical set up uses a direct connect cable to play sound to the cochlear implant. In this instance, headphones were used due to technical limitations.

I’m freaking out about this video, she must feel amazing being able to hear out of an ear that was deaf. I have SSD and I would love to be able to hear out of both ears.

This is really excellent! I've seen some simulations of how music is heard with a CI on RUclips, but they seem very far off from this. Do you know if there are any accurate comparisons of how music sounds?
