I'm starting to localize some sounds with my CI + hearing aid bimodal hearing, and even speech sounds better and easily understandable!
However, the ear mold I'm using is chaffing parts of my ear's pinna. So I don't wear the hearing aid as much as I should. I've decided to run with the hearing aid on my left ear a while longer (as opposed to getting a 2nd CI), but I really need to replace that ear mold. Hopefully I get a more comfortable one.
