@nla4625 You are talking about the Head Shadow Effect. You can Google it to find a good definition. I am almost totally deaf on the left side of my head. I got BiCROS hearing aids about a week ago and love them. I can actually hear someone whispering to the left of me. I, of course, can't tell where sound is coming from because it all goes to my right ear, but I couldn't before I got the BiCROS hearing aids either. So, for me, this system of hearing aids is helpful.

@ellene. I'm so glad the bicros are helping you. I was really interested in your story about the noninvasive surgery they did to remove your two acoustic neuromas and really admire your positive can-do attitude in facing whatever comes regarding your potential loss of hearing. My one acoustic neuroma on my left side was removed at Mayo in 1987 by an amazing team of doctors. An ENT doctor handled the part outside my head, and a neurosurgeon did the work inside. They removed the tumor without damaging my facial nerve, which was pretty amazing. I have a hole in my skull about the size of a half dollar that they didn't fill in which I use as an excuse for any mistakes I make, ie what can you expect from someone with a hole in her head. I'll read about the head shadow effect. Thanks for letting mr know about it. I hope you continue to do well! Nancy
