Hi all,
Looking for your help/insight please.
I’ve got 40% unilateral hearing loss in low frequencies due to Meniere’s so speech clarity is difficult not to mention the roaring tinnitus. Good ear is perfect, doing all the work.
Audiologist recommends traditional hearing aid (as CROS would be bothersome on my good ear and only opting if clarity gets worse) while Neurotologist said BiCROS or AmpCROS. They work at the same place so basically getting contradicting recommendations!
Considering Phonak Audeo Lumity L90 or Signia Pure Charge & Go 7IX but it appears many of their speech clarify and background noise reduction features are only for bilateral fittings (2HAs vs 1). So not sure if these premium levels would even be worth it if I opt for unilateral fitting (1HA vs 2) OR if 1HA is worth it at all and should just go with 2HAs so I can then take advantage of features?
Not having my bad ear stimulated is also my biggest concern/need as I’d want to prevent auditory deprivation over time to reduce the risk of cognitive decline down the road.
Would greatly appreciate your thoughts/experiences!
Thank you!
