Crossed Wires is now live on OSF — an open-access white paper exploring the overlooked impact of hemispheric lateralisation in cochlear implantation for APD and early-onset deafness. 📄 https://osf.io/pwqr7/

Abstract Cochlear implantation is often approached as a peripheral correction of hearing loss, with ear selection guided primarily by audiological severity, device history, or anatomical constraints. Yet for individuals with prelingual deafness and auditory processing disorder (APD)—particularly those who developed language through visual-dominant modalities such as lipreading and captioning—this approach may overlook a crucial factor: brain lateralisation.

The auditory system is inherently asymmetrical, with each ear routing input to the opposite cerebral hemisphere. Given that the left hemisphere is typically dominant for language decoding, implanting the left ear (feeding into the right hemisphere) may, in some cases, introduce an artificial signal into a neural system ill-suited to interpret it.

This paper proposes that ear choice in cochlear implantation should consider cerebral dominance and sensory compensation history, particularly in older CI recipients with entrenched APD and visual adaptation. Drawing on findings from research on hemispheric language dominance, cortical reorganisation, unilateral vs bilateral stimulation, and cross-modal plasticity, it identifies a critical gap: current CI evaluation protocols rarely account for how early sensory deprivation and neural re-routing shape long-term comprehension.

Evidence suggests CI outcomes can vary based on implantation side (Chilosi et al., 2014) and that unilateral implants may lead to asymmetric cortical dominance with lasting consequences (Gordon et al., 2013).

This paper doesn’t prescribe a universal protocol, but calls for a more personalised, neurocognitive framework—one that recognises that more input does not always mean more understanding, especially when the signal enters the wrong side of a rewired brain.

Drop Your Basic Utensil for a New Experience with a Finger-Shaped Spoon

As far as Emily Post is concerned, eating with your hands is a big no-no. But let’s be real, some of our most delicious and memorable food experiences have often come from this very activity. Eating with your bare hands or sucking your fingers are natural behaviors. We believe it feeds your mind, not just your stomach, by offering a personal connection with your food.

Design studio Michel/Fabian tapped into the sensuality of eating with one’s fingers when developing their genius take on the spoon. The result = Goûte, a teardrop-shaped glass wand designed to eat creamy foods like peanut butter, Nutella, yogurt, or chocolate mousse. Their handcrafted utensil makes the experience of eating creamy foods much more mindful and pleasurable.

Michel/Fabian also collaborated with Oxford University’s Crossmodal Research Laboratory to conduct an experiment testing the effect eating with Goûte can have on flavor perception. Participants reported perceiving the food as tasting significantly better than when eating with a conventional spoon. Some participants even rated the sweetness of the yogurt sample as being sweeter than those eating with a plastic spoon. Lastly, the perceived value of the food went up by 40%.

Goûte can be defined in three ways. Each one below clearly shows how perfect the product name truly is.

goût french |gu| taste or gustation. One of the 5 senses that informs about the molecular properties of food. The sensation of flavor perceived in the mouth on contact with a substance. goutte french |gut| drop (of liquid). A small round or pear-shaped portion of liquid that hangs or falls. goûte french |gut| to taste. “Goûte cela” – “Taste this”.

As for the physical design, the original concept started by 3D printing a scanned finger, and giving it a handle. Then after many failed material trials, they decided to move forward with glass. The versatile material could produce a similar shape to the finger while allowing them to find a balance between tactile qualities, visual aesthetics, and manufacturing capacities. The glass Goûte is made by glass blower Richard Price, in the United Kingdom.

Additionally, they also produced a version in different woods: Pear, Maple and Olive. Their wood is ethically sourced, dry-aged, and hand-turned on a lathe by Dominic Jones, wood artisan in the United Kingdom.
