Pro:
* Heavy metal/Rock music sound much better
* More volume control to turn down if too loud (CI volume only lower by 10% difference pfft)
* Hearing more of the low frequency that im missing with CI
* If im tired of loud noise like restaurant, have headache or just want a quiet day but still have some sound I can just take off CI and wear just hearing aid.
* No surgery
* Comfortable , no pain like I have around implant site I get random achy feeling.
* Get some sound input in other ear so no one-sided feeling.
Con:
* Cant hear the speech sounds clearly, its very muffled and missing sounds
* Not loud enough to match up volume-wise with CI when I want it to
* Feedback! (if I lean my head too close to something like arm of the couch it'll feedback)
* Earmold (plugged up feeling)
* Not covered by insurance (but VR may pay for it so we will see in little while)
* Some sounds sound very weird like light classical music sound like soft feedback ew
* Increases the tinnitus issues but it doesnt bother me at all (only time it will bother me is if I cry my implanted ear will start ringing loud screaming horrible buzzing if I dont have processor on)
* At the most of time it doesnt work together like it will be CI hearing sounds then switch to hearing aid hearing sounds when different frequencies sounds is occuring all at once, it feel like someone is holding speaker to my ci ear then suddenly move it to my other ear its weird.
