Children With Congenital Unilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Effects of Late Hearing Aid Amplification—A Pilot Study

Conclusions: Children with congenital uSNHL benefit from late HA intervention in one-to-one communication but not in demanding listening situations, and there is a risk of degraded SLA. The results indicate that neural transmission time from the impaired cochlea to the upper brainstem may have an important role in unilaterally aided spatial hearing, warranting further study in children with uHL receiving early HA intervention.
