Unilateral vs Bilateral Hearing Loss: What is The Best Treatment?

WHEN DO YOU NEED HEARING AIDS?

Two common questions we get for both children and adults:

1️⃣- If there is hearing loss in both ears, is amplification (a hearing aid or cochlear implant) in just one ear enough?

2️⃣- If there is hearing loss on one side with normal hearing on the other, is it ok to have no hearing aid?

In this video, Dr. JJ and Dr. Lindsey discuss the implications of fitting a bilateral hearing loss with unilateral amplification as well as not fitting a unilateral hearing loss at all.

This is a common question asked by both adults with hearing loss as well as parents of children with hearing loss. Find out why we feel hearing loss always needs amplification IF the ultimate goal is spoken language.
