Description

Unilateral is Not Uniform

Since universal newborn hearing screening, the number of infants diagnosed with unilateral hearing loss has dramatically increased. However, the needs of these children vary. In this session, five profiles of unilateral hearing loss are discussed. They're based on etiology of hearing loss and the amplification/habilitation that Sunshine Cottage's Parent-Infant Program has adopted.

During this session, participants will:

Categorize unilateral hearing loss based on the five profiles presented.
Identify unique aspects of each profile of unilateral hearing loss and how they impact amplification and therapeutic needs.
Develop amplification and intervention plans for very young children with unilateral hearing loss based on the profiles presented.
