“…Implantable hearing aids such as BAHA or VSB would be suitable for bilateral CAA cases (Verhaert et al, 2011). However, there were some controversies regarding the choice between BAHA surgery and EAC surgery in unilateral CAA (Pai et al, 2012;Kompis et al, 2011;Fukushima et al, 2011). Most CAA patients were unilateral and all the 125 cases in our study were unilateral.…”

Meatoplasty with canalplasty and tympanoplasty in individuals with CAS can yield reliable and lasting positive hearing results with a low incidence of severe complications. The existence and preoperative condition of patients' TM and EAC skin helped improve hearing results and decrease the incidence of complications. However, the final hearing results and complications required stricter indications for CAA patients.

Effects of Unilateral Input and Mode of Hearing in the Better Ear

Objective To evaluate effects of hearing mode (normal hearing, cochlear implant or hearing aid) on everyday communication among adult unilateral listeners using the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing scale (SSQ). Individuals with one good, naturally hearing ear were expected to have higher overall ratings than unilateral listeners dependent on a cochlear implant or hearing aid. We anticipated that listening environments reliant on binaural processing for successful communication would be rated most disabling by all unilateral listeners. Regardless of hearing mode, all hearing-impaired participants were expected to have lower ratings than individuals with normal hearing bilaterally. A secondary objective was to compare post-treatment SSQ results of participants who subsequently obtained a cochlear implant for the poorer hearing ear to those of participants with a single normal hearing ear. Design Participants were 87 adults recruited as part of ongoing research investigating asymmetric hearing effects. Sixty-six participants were unilateral listeners who had one unaided/non-implanted severe to profound hearing loss ear and were grouped based on hearing mode of the better ear: 30 had one normal hearing ear (i.e., unilateral hearing loss participants); 20 had a unilateral cochlear implant; and 16 had a unilateral hearing aid. Data were also collected from 21 normal-hearing individuals, as well as a subset of participants who subsequently received a cochlear implant in the poorer ear and thus became bilateral listeners. Data analysis was completed at the domain and subscale levels. Results A significant mode-of-hearing group effect for the hearing-impaired participants (i.e. with unilateral hearing loss, unilateral cochlear implant or unilateral hearing aid) was identified for two domains (Speech and Qualities) and six subscales (Speech in Quiet, Speech in Noise, Speech in Speech Contexts, Multiple Speech Stream Processing and Switching, Identification of Sound and Objects, and Sound Quality and Naturalness). There was no significant mode-of-hearing group effect for the Spatial domain or the other four subscales (Localization, Distance and Movement, Segregation of Sounds, and Listening Effort). Follow-up analysis indicated the unilateral normal hearing ear group had significantly higher ratings than the unilateral cochlear implant and/or hearing aid groups for the Speech domain and four of the ten subscales; neither the cochlear implant nor hearing aid group had subscale ratings significantly higher than each other or the unilateral hearing loss group. Audibility and sound quality imparted by hearing mode were identified as factors related to subjective listening experience. After cochlear implantation to restore bilateral hearing, SSQ ratings for bilateral cochlear implant and/or cochlear implant plus hearing aid participants were significantly higher than those of the unilateral hearing loss group for Speech in Quiet, Speech in Noise, Localization, Distance and Movement, Listening Effort, and the Spatia...

“…The SSQ addresses a range of aspects of hearing and covers three main domains; speech, spatial, and qualities of sounds (Noble & Gatehouse, 2006;Pai et al, 2012;Singh & Pichora-Fuller, 2010;Summerfi eld et al, 2006).…”
