sorry to hear that matthewfox. my hearing is not due to nerve damage - just age related frequency loss and that is compensated for by the aids which boost the lost frequencies. i haven't actually 'lost' them but the volume at which i hear them has declined.

if your left ear is ok then probably you can hear all the frequencies just in mono!

does the aid make any difference at all? has your audiologist checked the aid settings?

i play with a friend who has lost the hearing in one ear and he seems to get on fine playing and recording but he had quite a struggle to get his expensove hearing aids working
