LM311 - Ampcros Revisited: Five Years Later

Abstract: AmpCROS is a viable solution for patients that have been diagnosed with single-sided deafness and yet still have some residual hearing in the worse ear. The concept is that still provides a modicum of amplification to the worse ear while also transferring to the better ear, thus assisting with auditory preservation, possible tinnitus issues, localization, and possibly even better word recognition. This presentation reviews the presenter's past five years of working with AmpCROS, delineating its pros and cons, who are candidates, provides case studies, and, time-permitting, how to set it up in various manufacturers' software.
