What's your review of Cochlear Osia 2 System?

Paul-- Here's are a few of my post-op photos. The white compression band/cap became a bit painful over the 24 hours that it had to be worn (my face is blocked because I didn't look so great after surgery). The second photo is of the post-op wound (a lot of swelling, which dissipates with time as @lmayo said). The final photo shows the wound as it was still healing, when there was less swelling. The lumpier area is the bottom area, closest to the incision.

Hi Stephanie, you've been very helpful so far. I'm a candidate and im considering the Osia bone conducting surgery. I have SSHL since Dec 2019 and being in a group at a restaurant or at work (noisy hair salon) are so frustrating. even being passenger in the car (my left ear has no hearing), I can't have a conversation with the driver without turning my neck so much that im sore the next day.
anyways, your scar looks a bit intimidating on the first picture of course but already much better just a few weeks in. im assuming once the hair grows back, nobody can tell anymore. is the scar actually outside of your hairline? it looks very close. wonder if they can go a tiny bit in further so the scar won't show when you're wearing your hair in a high ponytail per say.
I have a couple of questions if you don't mind....
does it not feel overwhelming, specially in a louder setting to have all sound going into one ear?
does the microphone still work as good when the device is covered by hair?
