Ear mold and CROS aids

Having recently been diagnosed with an AN and having completely lost any hearing in my left ear it seems that I am going to be offered CROS hearing aids. It also seems that my 'surviving' ear will be fitted with a mold rather than a dome. I would be very interested to hear other people's experience of this situation.

Many thanks

I have a cros aid with a dome( don't know about the mold). The cross works well, with hearing what is around you ,road traffic and the like, but you do spend a lot of time looking round to find where the sound is coming from

I too have lost my hearing in my right ear and am going for an ENT Consultant apt on 7 March. I think they may fit me with some kinda hearing device too. I am told it will link up to the other ear somehow, but reading some information on net I dunno whether this is done with Bluetooth??

Note to earhole

I can't determine where sound is coming from either and was hoping that this might solve that problem along with the tinnitus I have. I have lost so much concentration and can't remember anything.

1st question , no it's not Bluetooth ( mine isn't) and yes tinatus is a bigger, I have had my right ear removed and still get it, my only answer is listen to music all the time.

Love the name earholePersonal question, hope you don't mind, did you have ear removed because of problems with hearing and tinnitus?

Yes I do seem to have background noise on most of the time and then other times I just want to be silent

My inner ear was damaged when a cyst in my petrius apex (hole in the side of the skull where all the cables go through) was drained,

Not what you're looking for?
