I have a severe hearing loss in the right ear. In addition voice
recognition is less than poor. In other words the right ear is toast
even if the volume is cranked up. The left ear has good voice
recognition but the higher frequencies need help. This info came from
the Mayo clinic. They ran a MRI but the results are not in to see if
something can be fixed in the right ear. Apparently hearing loss in
one ear is not common and may be caused by a tumor e.g..

I understand that there is a hearing aid system where a hearing aid is
placed in both ears. The hearing aid in my right ear would transmit
the sound to the other hearing aid.

My question is...does anyone have experience with such a system? Any
words of wisdom concerning brands recommended or to be avoided would
be welcome. I am going to need a hearing aid for the left ear and
would like to know if it might be worthwhile to try the two hearing
aid system. When you only hear with one ear directional location of
the source of sound goes down the toilet.

TIA

I have the same heaing impairment and my audiologist has never suggested
anything like this. I use an aid only for the better ear.
