ABSTRACT=This conceptual analysis manuscript explores the current concepts and issues to consider in the field of device-based interventions for adults with single-sided deafness (SSD). The manuscript summarises the functional, psychological, well-being, and social consequences of SSD in adults. It also provides an updated overview of the current challenges in outcome measurement of all available rerouting and restoring interventions in the field. The cost effectiveness of SSD interventions is also briefly discussed. This manuscript provides an upto-date general summary of our current knowledge of outcome measurement for SSD interventions that would be helpful to healthcare professionals working in the field.
