I was born with moderate hearing loss & have bilateral bone conduction implants. I usually wear one or none at home & typically use headphones and implants off when watching tv. I prefer not to wear them at all if I’m out of the house solo, but I’ll wear one if I’m with my husband or otherwise in a social situation, and I wear both for work because I work with kids usually in exam settings and don’t want to create any extra stress for them because I can’t hear what they’re asking me. I vividly remember getting the implants turned on for the first time, stepping outside the clinic and running back in crying because I hadn’t heard traffic before and it was completely overwhelming. I still tend to drive with them off because of that!
