Hearing loss in one ear is also known as Single Sided Deafness or simply SSD for short. It is a condition where there is significant or total hearing loss in one ear.
If you have SSD, your hearing loss can be helped with a hearing aid which transmits sounds from the deaf ear to a hearing aid in your better ear.
Hearing aids can be of considerable help to people with hearing loss in one ear.
