Binaural Cochlear Implants and Single Sided Deafness adults
22 May 2024
About the event
Adults with bilateral severe-to-profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL) face considerable challenges with communication and social participation. Cochlear Implants (CI) are the preferred treatment for SNHL in many countries. However; unilateral CI may not fully restore binaural hearing; especially in challenging listening situations like noisy environments and sound localization. This webinar will focus on the benefits of binaural hearing. Dr James Tysome will introduce speakers Dr Adriana Smit who will discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with single sided deafness; and Dr Timo Stöver; who will present the key to unlocking binaural hearing in adults. Pre-webinar reading will accompany this event.
