The influence of nonaudiological variables on audiological rehabilitation outcomes.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:At a minimum, unilateral hearing loss (UHL) impairs sound localization ability and understanding speech in noisy environments, particularly if the loss is severe to profound. Accompanying the numerous negative consequences of UHL is considerable unexplained individual variability in the magnitude of its effe...
