Thanks for sharing your experience! I have normal hearing in my left ear, but have had two bouts of sudden sensorineural hearing loss in my right ear that left me deaf on that side. I was given a range of options after the initial steroid injections didn't work and, since my bone conduction still works, I've chosen the new Osia bone conducting implant. It looks pretty similar to a full-on cochlear implant, since it has a magnetically attached external processor (no open port!), but the only internal gear is a stud implanted in the mastoid that takes the sound from the processor and sends it over to my good ear. I still won't have stereo hearing, but it does give "true" sound, which is a priority for me since I play several instruments.
