The difficulties school-aged children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) experience have been documented. Children with single-sided deafness (SSD), however, face unique obstacles. These children are more likely to experience difficulties than their peers with lesser degrees of UHL and are not candidates for conventional hearing aids. Newer hearing technology options are emerging for individuals with SSD, but the efficacy of these new devices has not been extensively studied in young children. This article will review the current evidence concerning amplification options for children with SSD, discuss factors the audiologist should take into consideration when contemplating amplification, and review other recommendations the audiologist can make in the best interest of the child.
