Hearing Aids - how goes it?
Discussion
Dude, go and talk to a decent audiologist.
To answer your question though (and purely in my opinion) using an aid to pick up sound from the side that doesn't work will do just that - you'll still have the issue of background noise to some extent.
That said, hearing aids have came a very long way from the days of indiscriminately amplifying all sounds and some are now very good indeed at managing background noise, whether in the form of manually switchable directional mics or via software algorithms.
To reiterate tho - go see an audiologist :-)

Is there anything out there for someone (i.e. me) who has total hearing loss (dead nerve) in 1 ear?
I manage fine 95% of the time but struggle in noisy environments. A normal hearing aid would be no use for me as it doesn't matter how loud the noise is, I still won't hear it in the 'bad ear'. (Assuming most normal aids just amplify the sound for that ear).
Yup, but you need your GP to refer you to ENT, the solution will involve an implant and surgery.I manage fine 95% of the time but struggle in noisy environments. A normal hearing aid would be no use for me as it doesn't matter how loud the noise is, I still won't hear it in the 'bad ear'. (Assuming most normal aids just amplify the sound for that ear).
At my last ENT consultation about 10 years ago, he advised against a cochlea implant unless I was really struggling with life.
As I'm not really struggling and it's just an inconvenience in certain environments, I have never really looked into what else might be available. I'm assuming I could get aids for both sides, one a transmitter and 1 a receiver? Im not sure how that would effect the hearing in my good ear though.

I asked my GP to refer me, and they couldn't find who would take me in this NHS trust area (too young for hospital apparently). Found an ENT thing as part of another localish doctors' surgery. Had a hearing test Monday and then docs appointment today. Confirmed need a hearing aid and now referred directly to hearing aid department of local hospital. ~4 month wait. I'm getting tempted to buy one but suppose another few months of something that is years in the making won't hurt.
Not had a chance to properly read this whole thread but thought I'd give my experience.
When I was 15 I had a bad case of labyrinthitis, it started with the hearing in one of my ears going in the morning (almost like when you're on a plane), all morning I was trying to 'pop' my ear to get the hearing back as I thought it was a pressure thing, but no luck.
Then, in my music lesson (ironically), the whole room started spinning, I collapsed, threw up everywhere and literally couldn't lift my head off the floor. To cut a long story short, I ended up in hospital for 2 weeks on an IV drip whilst my brain adjusted to 'balance organ failure' – whatever that means.
Two weeks later I was back on my feet, and more importantly could keep food down as the nausea started to wear off. The hearing in my right ear however, never came back. I'd take a guess that I have about 20% of my hearing left and its all low frequency, and high frequency just doesn't get through.
I put up with this, and in fact it didn't affect me much for a good 9 years, but eventually wanted to go find out exactly what was going on and whether there was any way of getting my hearing back. After a number of appointments and tests they kind of explained what had happened back when I was 15, they also told me that in this day and age, if I had been given steroids within 24 hours of my hearing loss then it probably would have come back! Not much help now.
Anyway, I was given a heading aid, this was 5 years ago (its an Oticon one??), and used it for a couple of months but really couldn't get the hang of it, the little sounds as it rubs against your skin and the feedback and the faff of wearing it (its small but certainly not inconspicuous) was all too much. It's sat in a drawer most of those years and I try it every now and then but find the extra hearing it gives me isn't even that noticeable to warrant wearing it.
I have however started to become more and more frustrated with the lack of hearing in that ear. Quiet places, and when the people are talking to are standing anywhere but to my right hand side, its fine and I don't even notice. But in noisy environments or when someone is to my right and talking to me I just cannot hear, most the time I move to their other side and much closer.
I've found over the years I feel more and more anxious in busy places (I can literally only be in city centres for an hour or so before its too much), and I'm convinced its my hearing thats causing the disorientation and making me feel this way. I'm generally a confident and chatty person, I love festivals and socialising and no reason to feel this way otherwise.
I also get so frustrated asking people to repeat themselves or saying 'pardon', that I've just started ignoring them and hoping they repeat themself of their own accord. Particularly the o/h (comes in handy sometimes :P), but despite her being fully aware of my hearing, and always walking on my left etc, I'm still constantly mis-hearing her at home etc.
Are aids any better/smaller than they were 5 years ago? Is there a better aid now than the Oticon one I currently have? Has anyone else noticed that in busy places they can become quite anxious and disorientated due to hearing?

Wear it, your life will be better once you've adjusted to all the new noises you can hear. Sure, they're not perfect but they're better than feeling isolated.

Don`t normally post but,
Investigate Lyric made by Phonak, not cheap but they have literally changed my life.
They are invisible and you leave them in for around two months before getting them renewed.
You can pay for just one if that is all that is needed. As with all hearing aids they take a bit of getting used to but after 3 - 4 weeks, you just forget all about them and carry on with your life, except you don`t keep repeating SORRY / PARDON
No connection to Phonak, just a happy long term user. PM me if you want more info.

Hearing aids can and do sound very different to different people. So where a particular hearing aid could be a game-changer to one person, it could sound utterly terrible to another another.
Honesty, I'm not pissing on chips here :-)

That'll leave an interesting scar! To add to your collection
Do they physically cut the entire ear off or is the ear "just" cut where you see it there and folded back in order to get at the nasty stuff?
Edit: never mind, just looked at the photo again, and can see the cut isn't 360 deg.

I'm up to about ten surgeries now that scar will disappear in time, at the minute my ear is sticking out an extra inch!
They fold it forwards so they can gain access, he was up as far as my temple through that hole. Three hours with a Dremmel.
Staples come out on Monday, packing a couple of weeks after. Pretty deaf at the mo!
