Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of single-sided deafness (SSD) among patients with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) at a tertiary care rehabilitation center.
- Out of 11,534 SNHL cases, 225 were diagnosed with SSD, predominantly affecting males and more commonly in the right ear, with complaints like tinnitus and vertigo.
- Only a small percentage of SSD patients tried or purchased hearing aids, leading to the conclusion that the benefits from hearing aids are limited for those with SSD.
