I believe other readers of your query will need more information in order to assist you.
I suffered a sudden, single sided hearing loss a few yr’s ago due to a work related incident. My hearing had dropped from near 100% to 76%. My Workman’s Comp provided me with a Phonak hearing aid. With ea. passing visit my speech and word recognition (possibly what you described as clarity) declined to where it was down to 42% this past June. It was determined that my “sensory” hearing loss made me eligible for a bone conduction implant and why my Phonak hearing aid wasn’t helping me as the inner/outer hairs in my Cochlea were damaged (anything less than 60% qualified me for this). Of my three options, I opted for the Cochlear- OSIA 2 device; which differs from the more commonly known traditional Cochlear Implant.
I can elaborate on how my OSIA 2 has significantly improved my word recognition at a later time; however, that’s why others will need to know more about the type of hearing (clarity) loss you have? Sensory? Conductive? The type of Cochlear implant being recommended for you?
Good luck to you and the individual you responded to
