Which ear ?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Which ear are you currently wearing your CI in ? The better ear or

the worse ear ?

Also, here's my scenario. I've wore an hearing aid in my right ear

all my life but haven't wore one in my left ear for some time due to

my getting a light-headed clogged up feeling when wearing two hearing

aids. And I find I could communicate better when wearing just one

hearing aid cause I could concentrate better with just one. And I've

heard some other profoundly deaf hearing aid users say the same thing.

Anyway, getting back to the better ear versus the worse ear. One time

a doctor said to me " What if you don't like the sound of having a CI

in your right ear and at the same time you don't wear an hearing aid

in your left? " .

As of now, I'm leaning towards that if I were to get a CI, it'll

probably be my right. Cause that's what I'm used to, getting more of

an auditory input in my right ear as opposed to the left.

As for " What if you don't like the sound of having a CI in your right

ear " , my thinking is that if I were to get a CI, it should work, I'll

make it work. If necessary, I'll go for auditory training and so

forth.

What's your input ?

Thanks !

Dan
