Abstract

The aim of this research - the study of modern literature data on the prevalence, etiology, psycho-acoustic features of speech perception, sound localization in patients with single-sided deafness. Analyzed the effectiveness of modern methods of rehabilitation of this disease - such as hearing aids system CROS, bone conduction implants, cochlear implant. We carried out studies measuring speech intelligibility in quiet and in noise in 10 patients with unilateral deafness using the system implant bone conduction and CROS. The highest percentage of speech intelligibility in noisy environments (81%) and in silence (98%) was detected when using the audio processor implant bone conduction. The role of cochlear implantation in the rehabilitation of patients in this category. The use of hearing aids CROS, bone conduction implants proved improves sound reproduction from a deaf ear. Review of foreign literature has shown a significant improvement of sound localization in patients with cochlear implant in unilateral deafness, compared with the CROS system and the bone conduction implant.
