Joanne .....
I am assuming you have tried the ReSound Dot in your left ear, which has some hearing. Jan is the expert on the BAHA, which is a bone conduction hearing device ...... Jan, correct me if I am wrong ..... I believe the BAHA conducts the sound from your deaf side and transmits it to your hearing side, which is different than wearing a hearing aid in your hearing side. Not sure how a BAHA works when your hearing side has deficits already. Jan can tell you .....
I am not deaf in my AN ear (I have close to 20% hearing but it is garbled and inefficient.) and I have 100% hearing in my non-AN ear. I have used a MicroTech Curve7 digital hearing aid for a year and a half with mixed results. I had to experiment for a long time to get just the right kind of piece to fit inside my ear because I either could not hear or it was very uncomfortable. Finally found one that works. At the moment I am dealing with wax issues (too long to describe). The hearing aid is a great help for one-on-one conversations in a quiet environment and for listening to most music. However, in restaurants or other noisy environments, it is not very satisfactory because it just magnifies the noise. It does seem to quiet the tinnitus a great deal when I wear it consistently. My feeling is it sort of retrains the brain to hear more normal sound levels in that ear. Since I have the hyperacusis, as well, on the rare occasions when I go to a movie or loud concert, I take the hearing aid out and plug my good ear because I cannot stand the volume level.
Best wishes for finding the right combination. I have to keep reminding myself that I will not ever have hearing the way I did pre-AN ...... but I keep striving for the next best thing.
