I lost 95% of the hearing in one ear many years ago. This created problems in social situations like meals, because I constantly had to turn in order to hear someone on my “dead” side. I also was unable to tell which direction sounds were coming from, which creates some safety issues several times. Other audiologists I went to over the years told me that the solution was one powerful hearing aid in the bad ear. I tried that and it was most uncomfortable.
Steve Romeo had a more elegant solution. He put what looked like a very small hearing aid on my good ear and a similar device on my bad ear. The device on the bad ear transmitted sound to the good ear. He then showed me how to listen for differences in sound between the transmitted sound and the natural sound in my good ear. He also hooked the pair up to my phone, and now I take phone calls through the hearing aids.
After only two days I was in a restaurant with four people at a table and for the first time in many years I did not have to turn around once to hear the people on my bad side. Several weeks later I noticed that I was able to tell approximately where sound was coming from as I took a walk around my neighborhood. My only regret is that I waited so long before coming to Quality Hearing Aids and Steve. Total recommendation.
