Karen GordonGUEST
So you'll be hearing from Maria Khan, Nimrat Chani, Sophia Olazola, Annika Gassi, May Wang, and Mariam Othman.
Karen GordonGUEST
In season five, we recognize the contributions that many families have made to our research and conducted at Archie's Cochlear Implant Laboratory here at the Hospital for Sick Children.
Karen GordonGUEST
We discuss the findings of studies that often take many, many years and represent so many hours that children and their caregivers and loved ones spend with us.
Karen GordonGUEST
And we really appreciate them and all of this contribution they've made.
May WangHOST
I was born with single-sided deafness in my right ear and joined the Hear Hear podcast team as a lab ambassador at the start of season three with the intention to raise more awareness around hearing loss and support children with similar lived experiences.
May WangHOST
So it's an absolute honor to be your host for today.
May WangHOST
In this episode, we will be focusing the conversation on single-sided deafness, or SSD, with the goal of providing our fellow listeners a greater perspective on what it's like to live with SSD, what sorts of treatments, specifically cochlear implants, are available for those living with SSD, And we'll also get to learn from our guest experts about the latest SSD research that is being conducted both in our very own lab and in the field.
May WangHOST
And with that, it is my pleasure to begin by welcoming our guests, Dr. Sharon Cushing, Dr. Karen Gordon, Harrison Gao, and Hannah Bartel, and all of whom are strongly involved in the research done here at the Archie's Lab for Cochlear Implants.
Sophia OlaizolaHOST
Today, we are talking to Carly Anderson, who's talking to us from Lancaster, United Kingdom today.
Sophia OlaizolaHOST
And we're going to be focusing on bilateral cochlear implants in children.
Sophia OlaizolaHOST
We have Karen joining us also today to provide some insights.
Sophia OlaizolaHOST
And we're excited to get into the conversation.
Sophia OlaizolaHOST
And we can talk a little bit about how bilateral implantation users compare to unilateral users.
Sophia OlaizolaHOST
Okay.
Carly AndersonGUEST
So when we talk about bilateral cochlear implants, what we're really talking about is for people, children or adults who are profoundly deaf.
Carly AndersonGUEST
and when they have two implants, so one on each side or one in each ear.
Kate DelaneyHOST
And oh boy, is there more.
Kate DelaneyHOST
By the way, coming up, speaking in wait, there's more, the inventor of the cochlear implant, helping so many people hear.
Kate DelaneyHOST
It's incredible what that has done, and I feel so honored that we're gonna get to talk to him.
Kate DelaneyHOST
That's coming up in our next segment, and, uh, you'll hear what that story's all about.

Their pain and their losses are real." That's what Kraft said.
Kate DelaneyHOST
So yeah, but if they're not gonna, if they're not gonna keep the tour, [laughs] then they gotta make a move, and that's the move that they decided to make.
Kate DelaneyHOST
All right, on to cochlear implants.
Kate DelaneyHOST
You know anyone that's, uh, gotten them? Do you know anyone that has problems hearing? This was such a game changer and continues to be one.
Mordechai I. WilligHOST
It's very complicated.
Mordechai I. WilligHOST

He says, you know, first of all, not you, I'd say.
