Permanent unilateral hearing loss is increasingly identified in infancy and early childhood. In Early Hearing Detection and Intervention programs, an estimated 15-20% of children with hearing loss are identified with unilateral loss. However, there continues to be uncertainty and variation in practices in supporting these children and their families. SAC released a position paper on unilateral hearing loss in children, and this webinar presents key points of the position paper accompanied by a brief review of research supporting the position.
