Description:
Single-sided deafness (SSD) poses unique challenges to both the patient and the managing audiologist as SSD negatively impacts the ability to localize sound as well as speech understanding, especially in the presence of background noise. Clinical recommendations may be inconsistent as there is not a definitive best practice for the audiologic management of SSD so this presentation will review patients across the lifespan who pursued each treatment option and experienced varying outcomes.
