Abstract
Program Description:
The single-sided deafness (SSD) handicap has been underestimated. The purpose of this miniseminar is to present the latest research on the benefits of binaural hearing (Sig Soli, PhD), and the impact of SSD on childhood development and school performance (Nancy Young, MD). The different rehabilitation methods available will be presented, including osseointegrated bone conduction technologies (Jack J. Wazen, MD) and nonsurgical options (John Goddard, MD). Future trends and clinical research on the use of cochlear implants in SSD will be presented (Bruce Gantz, MD, and Tom Roland, MD). Open discussion, questions, and audience participation will follow the presentations.
Educational Objectives:
(1) Recognize the benefits of binaural hearing in children and adults and the potential deficits imposed by SSD. (2) Differentiate between surgical and nonsurgical options in the rehabilitation of SSD. (3) Use developing technologies and clinical research in the rehabilitation of SSD, including the use of cochlear implants.
