Hello
I had the misfortune of losing all hearing in one ear in October, 2019. I also lost my ability to balance the same night. It turned out that these were symptoms of an autoimmune disorder and that my nerves had been destroyed/badly damaged. Once I was certain that my deafness was not going away I ordered, and have been wearing Oticon bi-cross aids. The aid on my deaf ear blue-tooth’s the sound to my hearing ear. My husband, on the other hand, has had a similar problem for many years. He uses a Baha (bone anchored hearing aid) which essentially accomplishes the same thing. The sounds go through his skull rather than using blue-tooth. These seem to be the options currently available. Best of luck to you with this.

Hi,
The same thing whole ed to me in Dec ‘19. Sudden complete hearing loss in one ear. Vertigo for a week. Steroid shots or prednisone didn’t help. I got the Osia bone conducting implant surgery in Dec ‘22 and I’m not happy with the device at all. The volume of what’s being transmitted to my good ear is too low and only helps in a quieter environment. Which in that case I don’t need much help hearing when it’s quiet. But it’s also on max vol, due to feedback. How is your device working for you?
