What's your review of Cochlear Osia 2 System?

I am responding to your query about the implant portion of your Osia 2 system. I am totally deaf in my right ear due to sudden hearing loss, and I have moderste hearing in my left. It has been close to a year since I had my Osia implant, but I have not heard any metallic or other strange sounds when I click my teeth. I hear swishing, clicking, and ringing in my head, but I heard those sounds before the surgery. I experienced only mild discomfort during the first couple of days and several months of a numb feeling in my scalp which has completely disappeared now. When I first put the processor on, I immediately noticed a difference in volume of sounds and being able to determine the direction from which they came. The hearing is not perfect. In crowded situations, it remains a challenge, but I will take this from being completely deaf any day. I wish you the best of luck as you navigate your journey to better hearing. It is a process retraining your brain to accomodate the difference in how you hear sounds. I also am a music lover, and you will just have to experiment with your volume for the best clarity.

Hello, I may have been a little too vague with my comment regarding the metallic sound I hear when I tap my teeth. I am just six days into the first surgery and do not yet have my Osia 2 processor, I get this in another three weeks I hope. So, the metallic sound I hear is not going through any device, it’s the sound I get through my jaw bone. It doesn’t bother me, it was just a surprise!
Everything else seems to be going to plan thus far. I do have normal hearing in my right ear so I am hopeful that my ability to hear in different circumstances will be good, time will tell.
