OBJECTIVES: Patients with single-sided deafness (SSD) may experience difficulties with speech perception in noise, sound localization, have tinnitus and experience a reduced quality of life (QoL). contralateral routing of sound hearing aids (CROS) or bone conduction devices (BCD) may partly improve subjective speech communication and QoL in SSD patients. A trial period with these devices can help in making a well-informed choice of treatment. Our aim was to evaluate factors influencing the choice of treatment made after a BCD and CROS trial period in adult SSD patients...

INTRODUCTION: Most patients significantly benefit from cochlear implantation (CI). However, speech understanding varies widely, with a small proportion of patients demonstrating limited audiometric outcomes. While there are well-documented determinants of poor performance, there remains a cohort of patients that do not meet expected outcomes. Preoperative prognostication is desirable to manage expectations, ensure value of the intervention, and reduce risk. The objective of the study is to evaluate variables found within a single CI center's most limited functioning cohort following implantation...
