Are you a Deaf education specialist or allied professional who works with children 5 years and under with unilateral hearing loss?
The UCL Ear Institute is doing some research exploring professionals’ views and experiences of young children with permanent unilateral hearing loss (PUHL), all degrees: mild, moderate, severe and profound and all types: sensorineural, conductive and mixed. Currently there is limited evidence for managing this type of deafness in babies and children, and no UK guidelines for clinicians to follow. The goal of this research is to standardise management for this group so that more evidence can be gathered to help develop guidance for professionals in supporting families of children with unilateral deafness, whether aided or not.
