| Summary, etc | This study examined the subjective psychological and social effects of highly asymmetric hearing loss (single-sided deafness<br/>[SSD]) in adults. Design: Three group interviews were conducted using the critical incident technique and analysed using an inductive<br/>thematic analysis. Study sample: Eight adults with a clinical diagnosis of a moderately severe hearing loss or greater in one ear and normal<br/>or near-normal hearing in the other ear. Results: A range of functional hearing difficulties associated with SSD including impaired speech<br/>in background noise and reduced spatial awareness were reported to affect social and psychological well-being. Social consequences of<br/>SSD resulted from activity limitations and participation restrictions including withdrawal from and within situations. Participants reported<br/>psychological effects including worrying about losing the hearing in their other ear, embarrassment related to the social stigma attached to<br/>hearing loss and reduced confidence and belief in their abilities to participate. Conclusions: Single-sided deafness can be associated with<br/>many negative consequences. Counselling may help overcome the psychological consequences of hearing loss regardless of whether<br/>technological support such as a hearing aid is prescribed. The audiological management of these individuals should support the<br/>development of listening strategies and set appropriate expectations for participation in everyday listening situations. |
