Single Sided Deafness: Data-Driven Treatment Options for Children and Adults (AMW)
2020 AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
Single-sided deafness (SSD) is a common otologic diagnosis in the US and around the world but remains a complex problem to manage because of the numerous potential etiologies and possibilities for treatment. The focus of this presentation will be to review the various management options currently available for both pediatric and adult patients with SSD. We will briefly review the key elements in the workup of patients with SSD, but the primary emphasis of this presentation will be on the specific audiological habilitative options (both surgical and non-surgical) available for the treatment of SSD, as well as to compare the objective outcomes for each of these options as they relate to all listening conditions in patients of all ages. We will also review the data for cochlear implantation for the treatment of SSD in terms of both traditional objective outcome measures as well as more subjective data focusing on the sound quality of cochlear implantation for SSD.

Demonstrate an understanding of the various SSD treatment options available for both children and adults. 2. Discuss differences in treatment outcomes between children and adults with SSD, and report subjective sound quality of a CI. 3. Implement a streamlined algorithm for the treatment of SSD.Faculty: Ravi Samy, MD(Honoraria: Stryker: Research funding: Cochlear Corporation, Otonomy Corporation), Oliver Adunka, MD(Consulting Fees: Advanced Bionincs, MED-EL, Advanced Cochlear Diagnostics; Royalty: Advanced Bionics), Daniel Zeitler, MD(Research funding: Advanced Bionics; Consulting Fees: MedEl Corporation, Oticon Medical, Advanced Bionics Corporation, Stryker).
