How is wearing a hearing aid to correct poor hearing any different to wearing glasses to correct poor eyesight? Do all those millions of glasses-wearers “look like robots”?

How does it feel like having the titanium plate in your scull all the time?

The BAHA device costs around $4000 and many insurance companies do not cover it. The surgery is about $30,000.

I really like my BAHA. I have been wearing it for about 6 years now. I think it is time to get my processor changed – the cost is about $3500. As for the surgery costs – I do not know as my universal health care pay for it. I had to pay for the hearing aid processor.

i have single-sided deafness and this product was going to be my only chance of being able to hear from my right ear. I went to the doctor and found out the implant would do nothing for me as my inner ear doesn’t work, meaning the nerves that send the sounds from my ear to my brain don’t work, they don’t funtion at all, so the BAHA won’t work for me.

and then the cochlear implant won’t work for me either as they’re only used for people who are deaf on both ears, not just one. the cochlear would work for me, but since it hasn’t been done or tested.
