1. what hearing aids do you wear? Widex Inteo Pro, right ear only
2. How good are they? It does fine on environmental sounds, but crappy for speech or music.
3. Do they help you hear everything you want? No, it does not, which is why I just had CI surgery last week.
4. Are they uncomfortable?Not usually, except I have an irritation now that I am using antibacterial drops for. Itches something fierce! Oh, and I hate the "clicking" sound my glasses sometimes cause.
5. What degree hearing loss do you have. Profound in both ears. L is 100 db with no speech comprehension and R is 90dbs with maybe 10% speech comprehension on a good day. Not very many good days anymore, another reason for CI.
