There is a need to improve awareness and to better understand the impact and struggles of people who have unilateral hearing loss (UHL), the audiologists who treats them, and those who work, live and socialise with them. With better awareness comes better understanding, so health professionals can refer them rather than dismiss them. Moreover, better understanding can fuel motivation and allow the person with UHL to be more proactive about managing the condition while reducing anxiety.
