I am being considered for a through the NHS. Can anyone share their experience with these? How do they compare to regular hearing aids?

afaik, it’s people with acquired that benefit the most from it but I think even then now people are moving to ? also you need to have near perfect hearing on the other side, I’ve had , but it did not work for me…. I’ve worn a conventional hearing aid before on deaf side maybe because of that I actually expected a robotic sound, but idk it barely worked for me, if I plugged my hearing ear I could hear people but it’s just when i leave my good hearing open I did not notice any difference… should be noted that my better ear isnt perfect…

So you should have balance organ examination during hearing evaluation. If your second balance organ is good there is fewer worries about losing the function of one organ of balance.

In my case, I have partially good balance organ in my ear and totally dead in my ear. No problems.

You should explain your concerns during or CI evaluation.

When someone have faulty balance organ in the poorer ear, in particular cases losing its function improves symptoms. There is also even some last resort procedures, like labirythectomy (surgical or chemical) for cases where vertigo or another symptoms are so severe that they make people unable to live normally, so they need to put labirynthus down in one side.

However, patients require meticulous evaluation and testing.
