Does your child have hearing loss in one ear, or single-sided deafness? If they are under the age of 3, they may be able to receive a cochlear implant as part of a research study to find out if early implantation helps children with single-sided deafness. If they are five, they may be able to help us study differences between children who receive a cochlear implant when they are little, children who do not receive a cochlear implant, and those with typical hearing.
