I have damage that destroyed the eardrum and bones in my left ear.

I got a BAHA (Bone Anchored Hearing Aide). They drilled a hole in my skull, implanted a titanium post in it, and, the the BAHA snaps into it.

For the first time in 50+ years I could hear stereo. I can also use the app on my phone to adjust things so I can change things (mostly bass and treble) so I can hear what I want to hear.

It’s also a prosthetic, so, my insurance pays fully for it.

Worth having the 9mm slug in my head for. :D

WOW - that's worth asking about. Thanks.

Do you have some sort of thing to plug your head into for recharging?
