What's your review of Cochlear Osia 2 System?

Posted by edemmenegger @edemmenegger, Jun 12, 2021

I am getting the implants in a week or so. Would like to hear from people who are using these bone conduction devices.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Hearing Loss Support Group.

Hi , Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me about your cochlear implant , i really appreciate comments and life experience from real people that had gone through it , I went to a place called Costal hearing in Neptune NJ they have audiologist, and 3 ENT that also do surgery, after i beed examined again after 7 years they at first thought i'd be a candidate for OSIA but after the hearing test i was not a candidate for osia , so the only thing they would recommend is the new cochlear implant to give me a better hearing in my bad side , but i am doing ok with one good ear at least for now so i may not want do go and do that unless i really feel i need it , I am not sure after the surgery if i will have head aches , or other discomfort or how i will really hear on my bad side , they did say is never going to be like a normal hearing ….. and on top of that after having the surgery i would still have to ware these things on my ear and head … i wish i could actually experience a similarity hearing to see if i would be ok with it .. so that makes me stay put of the unknown after the fact . I am glad you doing fine with it and wish you the best . I hope some a bit better will come out in a few more years . I already suffer of allergies and head aches so that is a bit skeptical too . thank you again .
