will research it. Hearing loss has profound effects. It affects social intercourse and general awareness of the world you live in. I was not aware of just how profound its effects were until I began to lose my hearing. I used conventional hearing aids for some time but they began to be less effective and eventually were of no use. It was then that cochlear implants were suggested. So, I now have an implant. It is too soon for me to know if they will work for me. I may not know for months. I hope it does because to the degree that they work they have made a difference. In your wife's case, if by channel to her brain you mean the auditory nerve, I don't know what remedy there is for this, if any. Cochlear implants rely on the auditory nerve. They substitute for the "hair cells" in the cochlea that convert sound to electrical signals that are then transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve. If the nerve is not functional then the implants will not function. There may be something else. I am not an expert by any means but I would certainly investigate whatever hearing research is being done that might be of help. This is very OT here except that radios require hearing (mostly) and I think it is a subject that affects everyone. On 7/31/2024 7:37 AM, Maynard Wright, P.
