[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your hearing loss in one ear? How many decibels and what frequency? You should go to a hearing loss forum instead of posting here. There are specific hearing aids for a unilateral loss. [/quote]

That’s good to know. My audiologist never mentioned that certain hearing aids work better for unilateral loss. I’ll keep that in mind as I search.

I’ll look for a different audiology practice at some point.

Wait, what?!!!! You need to go to a different audiologist! You need a cros hearing aid:

CROS stands for “Contralateral Routing of Signal”. A CROS system consists of two parts

i. the CROS device with a microphone to pick up sounds and voices from the unaidable ear and wirelessly transmit them to the hearing aid

ii. the hearing aid to receive the signal from the unaidable ear and play it to your hearing ear

Do you have a copy of your audiogram? What decibels numbers can you hear/ where do the X’s /O’s pass through and at what frequencies? [/quote]

Gosh, I’m shocked that my audiologist did not mention CROS to me. When I look for a new one, I’ll ask if they have successfully helped patients with unilateral hearing loss.

I’d rather not share my audiogram data here.
