Nicole R Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Hi! This forum is quite new to me so hopefully I'm doing this right! I'm unilateral Bonebridge user since January 26. I also wanted to mentioned that MedEl did a blog of my "story" and was posted yesterday (February 3rd) I was born with bilateral microtia atresia with profound to severe conductive hearing loss on the right side(the Bonebridge implant side) and moderate to severe on the left side. I had bone gray surgery to try to form an ear on the right side but still no opening or ear Cana ( this was done when I was a baby). I learned to lip read and didn't get hearing aid till I was 16 yrs old. Hearing aid didn't really work as my ear canal on left side is so tiny. Yes I've struggled all my life! I'm not sure what else I should mention but am so glad about finding this forum!! I'm so amazed at the quality and clarity of sounds that I can hear!! Thanks for the welcome!!

Yes Nicole - everything is good. You have never had a bone conduction solution on the headband or at least in the glasses?
