What's your review of Cochlear Osia 2 System?

Thanks, @tinytoon31! Here are some current shots of my scar, which is pretty minimal/inconspicuous. You should discuss your scar concerns with your surgeon; they might be able to put it in your hairline.
Hearing with the Osia has never become overwhelming to me. It truly sounds natural and just like I'm hearing through my ear. The only times the volume has bothered me were when I allowed the device to stream phone calls to my device (I would randomly have a phone trill in my head when someone called. I've turned that feature off.) and when I've been streaming audio (music, videos, or audiobook) directly to the device when the volume was up too loud (I turned my phone's volume down to correct this.)
When I have my hair down, it covers my device. It hasn't seemed to affect the microphones at all. The only microphone issues have been wind and remembering to cover/protect the processor when it's raining (I guess that's not really a mic issue though).
Feel free to ask any additional questions you may have. I've been there, so I'm happy to help! 🙂

Wow that healed great, its really barely noticeable! I do wear my hair in a ponytail most of the time, wonder if it can be somewhat hidden under the hair instead of just sticking it over it.
im glad to hear you are so happy with the outcome, it gives me more reassurance to proceed.
am I correct that the all the sound will be just transferred to the "good ear"? hence my question if all sound into one ear isn't overwhelming. i might be confused on that part.
thank you so much for the support and help on getting a better understanding. I truly appreciate the time!

Thank you for sharing your story. It's fascinating to read about technology that wasn't even dreamed about when I was diagnosed with progressive sensorineural hearing loss in the '60s. I was told that nothing would ever change in my lifetime to help me remain in the hearing world. I was in my 20s then. I got a CI in my mid 60s and it has been a miracle. Things keep getting better. I LOVE to hear, and am so thankful!!
