Assessing Benefit in Cochlear Implants with Single-Sided Deafness

Assessing outcomes in CI recipients with Single Sided Deafness is time consuming and challenging for busy clinics without a specialized test environment and equipment. This webinar will introduce a new testing resource that will help audiologists measure speech recognition through the implant and assess binaural listening skills, that can be completed quickly in a typical sound suite. The attendees will be able to: • Explain how to counsel candidates and assess the clinical improvement of their SSD-CI patients. • Describe how to reduce the testing time needed to demonstrate clinical improvement in tests of binaural listening. • Explain how to make easy and time-efficient decisions about which tests to perform and how to perform them with typical sound booth equipment.
