approached significancep = .058
A hemisphere × time interaction approached significance ( F (3,74) = 2.61, p = .058) with post hoc investigations indicating that the level of bilateral enhancement no longer significantly differed between the left and right AC after 3 months of bilateral CI use (Weeks 1–2: t (73.2) = 3.77, p = .0003; Months 1–2: t (74.6) = 3.04, p = .003; Months 3–4: t (74.3) = 0.22, p = .83; Months 6–14: t (73.2) = 1.38, p = .17), although bilateral enhancement was still absent in the left AC in most adolescents at the latest Months 6–14 follow‐up time point (median (IQR) = −0.26 (0.36)).
