I’ve had the bicros about five years. I stopped wearing the earpiece that had the mic in it because even though it does allow you to hear sounds coming from the “deaf” ear, it doesn’t orient you in space. I still would look to my right or twirl around until I realized the sounds were actually on my left - I’m not sure if I’m being clear. In any case, Very disconcerting. But you may feel differently. It does at least allow you to hear conversations coming from that side and that’s a big deal if in a restaurant or walking in a group.

@wendymb Thank you for sharing your story. My bicross years were pre 2003 so I would expect the technology to be better than it was then. Sounds like it may not be. Everyone experiences hearing loss and hearing help differently. It's so good to share our experiences.
