Management
Learning of the central nervous system by "plasticity" or biological maturation over time does not improve the performance of monaural listening.
Contralateral Routing of Signals (CROS) hearing aid: a hearing aid that takes sound from the ear with poorer hearing and transmits to the ear with better hearing. This kind of hearing aid can involve two behind-the-ear units connected either by wire or by wireless transmission. There are also systems incorporated into eyeglasses. Bone Conduction Hearing Aid (Baha): transfers sound through bone conduction and stimulates the cochlea of the normal hearing ear. One study of the system showed a benefit depending on the patient's transcranial attenuation. Another study showed that sound localisation was not improved, but the effect of the head shadow was reduced.
