PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Options available for patients with single sided deafness has evolved lately to include cochlear implants and thus it is important for Otolaryngologists who don't perform the surgery to know about the newer indications and on when to refer patients to undergo cochlear implant evaluation. Hearing this from our international colleagues also adds to its value.

Learning Objectives:

  1. To recognize expanded criteria for cochlear implant candidacy.
  2. To examine the role of cochlear implants in patients with single sided deafness including Ménière's disease.
  3. To discuss patient-reported outcome measures in patients with single sided deafness and cochlea implants.
