LOL!  That's a good question.  I wonder if you would hear yourself eating if you had left it in.  ;)

I don't think you would hear yourself eating. The piece in the mouth transfers the sound, it does not pick it up.

I've been following the Sonnitus thread and this is one of my biggest concerns.

Jan
Retrosig 5/31/07 Drs. Battista & Kazan (Hinsdale, Illinois)
Left AN 3.0 cm (1.5 cm @ diagnosis 6 wks prior) SSD. BAHA implant 3/4/08 (Dr. Battista) Divino 6/4/08  BP100 4/2010 BAHA 5 8/2015

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways
