Hi Patsfan,

Welcome to our group!  It sounds like your brother is having a truly amazing recovery-- YAY for him!!!  My AN was the same size, and although I had a great outcome, my recovery was not even as close to the spectacular recovery he is having.  I hope things continue to go well and he is back to life as normal soon.  If he finds being SSD (single sided deaf) is not for him, BAHA (bone anchored hearing aid) or Transear are both great options.

Best wishes,
Wendy

Hey PatsFan-

Give your brother a big AttaBoy from down here in New Jersey.  Sounds like he is on his way to a great recovery - just the kind we like to hear about!
