oh I see. so you don have the bone conduction Osia? but the cochlea implant? I think I've gotten confused with the different types but yet similar names for it...
@tinytoon31, I found this information online that seems to support the idea that the signal can be sent to the better hearing side:
"Bone conduction hearing system: A bone conduction or bone-anchored hearing system includes an external sound processor that attaches to a headband or a surgical implant. The sound processor picks up sound from the poorer-hearing side and sends it to the better hearing ear by bone conduction. The goal of the bone-anchored hearing system for single-sided deafness is to provide sound awareness on the poorer-hearing side. Bone-anchored hearing systems do not restore hearing in the ear with hearing loss. Instead, they allow you to be aware of sounds on the side with the non-functional ear. Bone-anchored hearing systems also do not help with ringing in the ear or sound localization but may be a good option particularly when a cochlear implant is not an option."

Now I'm going to have to see about getting something on my right side! 🙂
