Speech Perception in Noise After Cochlear Implantation for Single-Sided Deafness: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

There is a lack of high level of evidence studies comparing the effect of different treatment options for single-sided deafness (SSD).

Objective

To determine the effect of a cochlear implant (CI), bone conduction device (BCD), contralateral routing of signals hearing aid (CROS), and no treatment on speech perception in noise outcomes in patients with SSD.

Design, setting, and participants

In this single-center randomized clinical trial, adult patients with SSD were randomized into 3 groups: CI; a trial period with first a BCD on a headband and then a CROS; or a trial period with first a CROS and then a BCD on a headband. After the trial periods, patients opted for a BCD, CROS, or no treatment. Measurements were completed at baseline and at 3, 6, 12, and 24
