Good luck with your OSIA 2 bone conduction implant. Single sided deafness can be treated in some ways that are different than for those who have hearing loss in both ears.

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is very common. It affects the hair cells in the cochlea/inner ear. Those do not regenerate. Thus, cochlear implants help many people as they bypass the cochlea with the damaged hair cells to stimulate the auditory nerve. For years, prior to the development of implanted devices, it was believed that the auditory nerve was 'dead'. Amazingly, that is rarely the case. That nerve is simply not getting the message.

With single sided deafness, bone conduction from the hearing side to the deaf side may do the trick. I hope this works for you and look forward to hearing your experience after your tech has been activated and programmed.
