A child with microtia and atresia Unilateral deafness describes deafness that affects one ear. This is often associated with unilateral (single-sided) microtia and atresia. Unilateral deafness is often referred to as 'one-sided hearing loss' or 'single-sided deafness'. One ear has a normal level of hearing, and most children with unilateral deafness manage very well in most situations.

Post-Traumatic Vertigo There are many potential causes of post-traumatic vertigo: After a head injury, otoconia may be displaced from the utricle and migrate into other parts of the ear, causing dizziness. 1. Positional Vertigo, and particularly Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo or BPPV , is the most common type of severe dizziness, and it is also common after head injury. It is easily recognized by the pattern of dizziness that is brought only when the head is placed in certain positions.

- Vertigo associated with peripheral vestibular system disorders is caused by an imbalance in the afferent signals coming from both sides. This imbalance can mimic the physiologic response of unilateral vestibular stimulation, and the ensuing inappropriate sense of motion produces the symptom of vertigo.

- New species of trilobites are unearthed and described every year. This makes trilobites the single most diverse class of extinct organisms, and within the generalized body plan of trilobites there was a great deal of diversity of size and form. The smallest known trilobite species is under a millimeter long, while the largest include species from 30 to over 70 cm in length (roughly a foot to over two feet long!).
