PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The handicap secondary to single sided deafness (SSD) was underestimated and is still not appreciated by many medical professionals. Most
patients with SSD end up unaware of their options. Such rehabilitation options evolved over the past decade. The goal of this presentation is to

SSD.

them unaided. Such presentation would play in role in increasing awareness of such options
