bonebridge?
« on: July 04, 2013, 12:52:02 pm »
Hello all that used to know me, not sure if you hang on these forums anymore since I have not for over 2-3 yrs.
Once in a while I browse google to see if anything new has been developed, which leads me to question if anyone has used the bonebridge.

Difference with BAHA?
Is it for people whose Vestibular nerve has been completely destroyed by an AN?
does it give direction.
Swimming? I am a triathlete.
Insurance covered? healthcare change? would it be under preexisting conditions?

I have learned to live with mono/and having head shadow and not sure if I want to be able to hear on my headshadow side unless it gives me direction, since I do not want to be overwhelmed with NOISE. Headshadow is also convenient for a nagging wife. ;) Sorry if I offend anyone.

I now work in an ER environment and more that once Docs have thought I ignore them. Anyone with SSD knows what I am talking about. I just purchased a button I am placing on my left shoulder that has the international deaf symbol.
bonebridge would help in these circumstances, but then return to the calm silence after..
5cm left AN from IAC to cerebellum/brainstem.
