“…There are various reports of BAHA fittings on adults with profound UHL. [54][55][56][57] These results ranged from no improvement in localization to improvement of speech in noise, improved performance compared with other device fittings, and subjective reports of benefit.…”

Children with minimal or mild bilateral hearing loss and unilateral hearing loss are at higher risk for academic, speech-language, and social-emotional difficulties than their normal hearing peers. The choice to fit infants with moderate or greater degrees of bilateral hearing loss has been standard practice for most clinicians, but for those with minimal or mild bilateral hearing loss or unilateral hearing loss, the fitting of hearing technology must be based on limited data. Evidence does not yet exist to support all the management decisions that an audiologist must make upon identifying an infant with minimal or mild bilateral hearing loss or unilateral hearing loss. It is not yet known which children are at the greatest risk for educational problems nor is it known if the provision of early amplification in this population will help a child avoid later difficulties. Some of these considerations and current hearing technology options for children with minimal or mild bilateral hearing loss or unilateral hearing loss are reviewed in this article.

“…In addition to consistent reports of patient satisfaction and increased speech perception in noise, studies show moderate improvements in sound localization ability after Baha [17][18][19]. In comparative studies on the efficacy of Baha versus CROS, investigators have uniformly recommended Baha over CROS or t-CROS for the management of SSD [20][21][22]. While hearing aid and conduction technologies simply transfer sounds to the single functioning cochlea, CI in the deaf ear uniquely affords the opportunity to utilize two independent cochlear generators.…”

Cochlear Implants in Single-Sided Deafness

2014

Single-sided deafness presents a unique challenge to otolaryngologists and audiologists. While the normal hearing ear may allow listeners to perform adequately on audiometric screening, individuals with only one functioning cochlea suffer when resolving speech in noisy environments and in sound localization-which both contribute to a reduced quality of life. Though there are a variety of strategies that provide contralateral routing of sound signals, the cochlear implant is the only treatment to truly restore binaural hearing. Only very recently has cochlear implantation (CI) for singlesided deafness begun in earnest, with encouraging results that demonstrate the strengths and pitfalls of implantation over traditional extracochlear methods. The purpose of this review is to update the field by emphasizing binaural benefits, discussing historical treatments of single-sided deafness, critically evaluating recent data on outcomes of CI for single-sided deafness, and recommending indications for cochlear implants in single-sided deafness in children, adults, and subjects with concurrent ipsilateral tinnitus.
