Bimodal hearing

"Bi," meaning two, and "modal," meaning mode, combines two ways for a patient to receive sound: a cochlear implant on one side and a hearing aid on the other. This can be the case with bilateral hearing loss, where one ear's hearing or word understanding is significantly poorer than the other, but both ears need stimulation.
