HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 9, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I am sorry you had that experience @segoro72. I hope you find another center. In the US, audiologists recommend hearing aids (sometimes in consultation with ENT doctors). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 9, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 @Mary Featherston How did things go with your cousin’s trial of ADHEAR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted March 9, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 @Mary Beth - he said it was good, a huge improvement over hearing aids, which of course it would be given a conductive loss. He is trying to get his insurance to pay for it. They refused him the BAHA that he qualified for last year, so I don't know, but I hope he'll decide to buy it himself if the insurance won't pay.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 9, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 @Mary Featherston Has he looked into the newly FDA approved BoneBridge implant from Med-El ? A friend has two and loves them. They have been available in other countries for many years but just received FDA approval in the US in 2018.

His insurance sounds pretty bad. Possibly the problem is that he's only deaf in one ear so they assume he can get by, but he's a teacher and really wants to be able to hear better.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 9, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 @Mary Featherston There are some clinical studies about cochlear implants for single sided deafness. Sometimes people are able to participate in clinical studies to get what insurance denies. Sorry it has been so difficult for your cousin.

Would they normally implant a cochlear implant for conductive loss? I don't see why it wouldn't work, but then why are there things like Bonebridge? Seems as though there's some overlap in what device will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 9, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 @Mary Featherston No. That was my mistake. I saw “deaf in one ear” and thought of a deaf side (sensorineural deafness). Sorry. Condictive losses tend to use: ADHEAR BONEBRIDGE SOUNDBRIDGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My audiologist told me once that they can tell what kind of loss you have by your test results, but I hadn't seen the detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adfriedman Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I am actually doing this for my sister who lives in Houston. Went to website and saw only organizations and places for children. She uses headphones for i phone/music but really needs for conversation/business events etc... she will not do an implant so the ADHEAR seems perfect. Can she have it ordered from any Hearing or ENT place? Can she buy direct from the company or another supplier online? We tried to leave with the company website but would not take her email as like me she is using our old emails that we have had for decades, Thanks all!
