Nonsurgical Management of Single-Sided Deafness: Contralateral Routing of Signal
1Department of Otolaryngology, University of Miami, Miami, Florida, United States.
Abstract:
In recent years, an increasing research effort has been directed toward remediation of single-sided deafness. Contralateral routing of signal (CROS) is the longest standing rehabilitation solution for individuals with single-sided deafness. The primary goal of CROS technology is to transfer the signal received at the deaf ear to the better hearing ear, thereby reducing the impact of the acoustic head-shadow. This allows for individuals with single-sided deafness to regain access to sounds located at the deaf ear. The hearing deficits associated with single-sided deafness are often debilitating. While surgical management of single-sided deafness is on the rise, CROS hearing aids offer a nonsurgical option to compensate for some of the deficits that occur when a listener is limited to a single ear. Limitations of early CROS devices resulted in poor adoption and acceptance in those with single-sided deafness. Following significant advances in both design and technology, the acceptance of CROS devices has increased in recent years. This paper reviews relevant literature in CROS application for the management of single-sided deafness. Technological advances, benefits, limitations, and clinical considerations are also reviewed in this article.

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route
Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route
There are three primary parenteral routes: intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC). The IV route introduces the drug directly into the bloodstream, ensuring immediate action. The IM route...
Routes of Drug Administration: Parenteral
The intravenous route (IV) of drug administration can be further categorized into two types. The bolus injection administers the entire dose rapidly, while an intravenous infusion slowly delivers smaller doses steadily.

Routes of Drug Administration: Overview
Enteral administration refers to drugs absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. They can be swallowed (perorally), placed under the tongue (sublingually), or on the inner lining of the cheeks (buccally). Perorally administered drugs take time to be absorbed and have a slower onset of action. The rectal route is another form of enteral administration, which allows for...
Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
