HiI can’t stand a headphone on my left side it hurts and my hearing isn’t good on that side

My job it talking to people on the phone and I have had to get a one sided head phone

But don’t think there is any medical reason why you couldn’t

I’m the same. I was given a headset for my left ear but the other side sat on the right side of my head where I was getting the pain, it became unbearable.I’m left handed so was ergonomic when holding a phone to my right ear and writing with my left. Because the headphones didn’t work, I held a phone to my left ear with my right hand and ended up with acute tendonitis in my right wrist. Physio and wrist brace help. However, I’m anxious about going back to my job as I deal with a lot of phone calls.

I use he BOSE sound headphones for heavy duty, and the earplugs for walkabout/everyday.

Word of warning: I would NOT use any of the youtube sound videos thatr claim to "cancel" tinnitutus. It makes it roaringly worse for an hour or more and makes you want to scream.

Not what you're looking for?
