Single-Sided Deafness in Children: Background, Effects, and Rehabilitation
For children with single-sided deafness (SSD), a lack of binaural hearing can affect speech understanding in noise, sound localization, learning, and everyday interaction. In this article, Annabelle Fischer explores the causes and consequences of SSD, compares current treatment options, and explains how cochlear implantation, when combined with targeted rehabilitation and family support, can help children unlock the benefits of hearing with both ears.
Single-Sided Deafness (SSD): Cochlear Implantation Outcomes in Adults
Cochlear implantation has been shown to improve not only the hearing of thousands of patients with unilateral deafness, but growing evidence now shows that many SSD (single-sided deafness) CI users also benefit from improved tinnitus control, sound localization, and quality of life. This article summarizes key findings from recent publications, including systematic literature reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical considerations—that, for the first time, were able to draw on data from a large number of adult SSD-CI patients.
