Bilingual hearing acquisition in Welsh and English following cochlear implantation.
A post lingually deafened adult equilingual in Welsh and English, receive rehabilitation in both languages following cochlear implantation. Hearing acquisition was very similar in both languages, indicating that there is no need to vary the electrode coding strategy for different languages of Indo-European origin. The situation may be difficult for tonal languages such as Chinese.
