Talk:Unilateral hearing loss

start

 * I'm thinking of altering the "known causes" of this disorder... perhaps putting them in more medical terms, or trying to at least make them more accurate. Would anyone have any issues with that? obm — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onebravemonkey (talk • contribs) 12:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I was born with UHL... uhm, I dunno how you could list that as a cause, lol. Basically, there's nothing wrong with my ear or my brain, so, when I was a toddler they had no idea why I was born with no hearing in my right ear. My educated guess has always been that maybe a synapse somewhere isn't quite close enough to catch the information of sound from the other, so the signal can't make it to my brain. I haven't been to a hearing specialist since I was a kid... lol, maybe I should go again... -- NatsukiGirl \talk 07:19, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if a resource like this is the place for medical advice, but should we mention that any unilateral hearing loss of unknown cause should be properly investigated by an ENT surgeon, in case of acoustic neuroma?81.158.253.10 (talk) 20:38, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

A recent study compared the CROS hearing aid with a bone anchored CROS system and found that the latter yields greater benefit on the deaf ear.

In SSD, Baha has a significant and positive effect on the perceived hearing handicap. The main benefits are:


 * Improved hearing from the deaf side
 * Better hearing in background noise, both in quiet and noisy surroundings
 * High levels of patient satisfaction

New features such as adaptive directional microphones and multichannel noise reduction potentially provide greater speech recognition in noise and reduce the drawback from amplified noise from the side of the Baha masking speech to the hearing ear.

The literature supports Baha as a satisfactory and beneficial solution for SSD. It has also been mentioned in several studies that Baha is preferred over other hearing solutions. Most patients that have received Baha as a treatment for their SSD would recommend the treatment to others. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:47, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Hello, can you explain why you think it's "spammy"? The references look like peer-reviewed publications in respectable journals.  Perhaps the material is not in the right article, but I can't see how it would be described as spam. pgr94 (talk) 17:14, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
