This brochure, a supplement to the Document “Early treatment and Diagnosis of Unilateral or Asymmetrical hearing loss in children: 2017 CODEPEH recommendations“, presents the main indications for the proper management of unilateral or asymmetric hearing loss in the form of a flow chart. It is designed as a practical tool for the professionals involved to have easily accessible supporting information for its everyday application.
It aims to provide guidelines for the correct diagnosis and early treatment of paediatric-onset unilateral or asymmetric hearing loss, with a special focus on identifying children at risk of suffering consequences in language development and learning difficulties and/or consequences in behaviour, as well as the impact of these types of deafness on the quality of life of hearing loss children and their families.
