Hello, fellow members. I'm from Ontario, Canada, and have been a hearing aid user since my late 20's/early 30's (I'm officially senior citizen now).
I have asymetrical hearing loss - right ear is for decoration only, lol. I literally have a hole in my head - the anvil/hammer/stirrup, mastoid and part of the eardrop was removed when I was nine years old. I have a cookie bite hearing loss in both ears (the right ear is significantly impaired - speech recognition is only about 20%). Then after a series of flu's and some strange medical incidents, the hearing in my left ear started to steadily decline in my mid-late adult years. I started wearing a CROS in 2019, but was unhappy with Phonak, although I think I adapted to the CROS reasonably well. I just completed a consult with a new audiologist and ordered the Oticon Real, I think it is (the latest version didn't offer slim tube or regular instead of rechargeable batteries). Has anyone had any experience with this brand and/or a CROS system?
