Unilateral hearing loss in children
This is the condition in which one ear of the child is hard of hearing and the other is normal.

The difficulty in diagnosing childhood hearing loss is that the child seems to hear well and respond to sounds, since they are hearing from the healthy ear. But when he finds himself in a more complex environment where the demands are increased, such as in a classroom, he is forced to make a greater effort to understand and concentrate.

This often leads to a misdiagnosis of the problem as these children are characterized as children with learning difficulties.

The preventive hearing test at the various stages of the child' s development contributes to the early diagnosis of unilateral hearing loss.
