Further, the binaural advantage was assessed using localization and speech innoise tests and the programmed settings were found to be beneficial in the aided conditioncompared to the unaided condition. Further, the hearing aid trial was performed using a pairedcomparison method by occluding the better ear with an otoblock and speech noise was deliv-ered using insert earphone at 65 dB SPL. The aided benefit in each hearing aid was best whenoccluding the better ear with an otoblock. But the findings indeed require further systematicdesign on a cohort of SSD before coming into concluding remark.  aHearing aid; unilateral;speech in noise; localization  aACTA OTO-LARYNGOLOGICA CASE REPORTS  uhttps://doi.org/10.1080/23772484.2017.1321469
