title: Performance and management of children with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss.
abstract: This paper reviews the status of children with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. There is mounting evidence to show that some unilaterally hearing-impaired children experience difficulty in school. Furthermore, these children may have trouble understanding speech in noise, exhibit poor localization skills, and display behavior problems in school and at home. Suggested management strategies for this population are discussed.
