Partial or complete hearing loss affecting one ear or one side of the head.
From 'hemi-' combined with 'anacusia' (from Greek 'an-,' without, and 'akousis,' hearing). Medical terminology for unilateral deafness.
Our hearing works in stereo like a speaker system—lose sound from one side and your brain can't tell which direction sounds come from, affecting balance and spatial awareness in surprising ways!
