Is A BAHA Implant Helpful Enough To Warrant Surgery?
I am single sided deaf and function fairly well. However, when I m in a place with a lot of ambient noise I can t hear much (on my deaf side). Would a baha hearing implant devise help enough to warrant the surgical implant. Do many people experience feeling different with the metal attachment in the head.
