Single-sided deafness: Bone conduction devices or cochlear implantation? A systematic review with meta-analysis.

CONCLUSION: Cochlear implants effectively offer better results in 2 of the 3 evaluated parameters, being a very valid option. Bone conduction devices should continue to be considered in the treatment of these patients because, in addition to allowing better discrimination in noise, patient satisfaction is greater in environments with background noise.
