Single Sided Deafness (SSD) is when a person has normal hearing in one ear only.
While some people feel having a Single Sided Deafness does not cause them many difficulties in their daily communication, others struggle in everyday situations – particularly in their work and social life.
Treatment options and communication strategies can significantly reduce the impact of Single Sided Deafness. Treatment options specifically designed to assist people with Single Sided Deafness include:
- CROS Hearing Aid systems
- Bone Conduction Implants
- Cochlear Implants

“It’s [Bone Anchored Hearing Aid] been amazing. At work, I’ve found a massive difference – before, I could not hear people talking to me from my right side. Now, I no longer have to worry about the direction a speaker or sound is coming from. I find that I am no longer turning my head to hear people talking, whereas before the operation, I often looked like I was looking away from the speaker.” – Jake
“It was so great” Leslie said. “I could hear sounds I had never been able to hear before, like birds chirping off in the distance or car horns honking. The clarity was unbelievable. I wish I had done it sooner.” – Leslie
