Talk:Unilateral hearing loss

message: * I'm thinking of altering the "known causes" of this disorder... perhaps putting them in more medical terms, or trying to at least make them more accurate. Would anyone have any issues with that? obm — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onebravemonkey (talk • contribs) 12:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

message: A recent study compared the CROS hearing aid with a bone anchored CROS system and found that the latter yields greater benefit on the deaf ear.
