A reader asks:
I use a hearing aid in my “better” ear because I have more than 90% loss of hearing in the ”worse” ear and supposedly there is no hearing aid that can reasonably be used on a daily basis for the worse ear. My problem is that my hearing aid, when placed in my “better” ear is good for volume, but when I put the aid in my “worse” ear, I hear with better clarity – not loud (I have a class D hearing aid), but good enough to sometimes hold a conversation over backgroud noises. I’m thinking about getting two hearing aids, one for each ear. What do you think?
We think that if you think that a second hearing aid would be helpful to you, then it’s your opinion that counts. There are many new developments in hearing devices. The best website that we know of for current information on that subject is HearingMojo.com. You might contact the publisher there, David Copithorne, for his comments. According to the website, David has Meniere’s Disease and wears two hearing aids, although his situation may be different from yours.
