Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid in Unilateral Inner Ear Deafness: A Study of 20 Patients

Abstract

The poor sound localization results illustrate the inability of patients with unilateral inner ear deafness to localize sounds. The speech-in-noise measurements reflect the benefit of a BAHA CROS in lifting the head shadow while avoiding some of the disadvantages of a conventional CROS. The benefit of the BAHA CROS was most clearly reflected in the patients' opinion measured with the APHAB.
