I had Stepidictomy in my left ear in 2010. My avg hearing loss presently is 42% and 50% in left and right ear respectively. I have tinnitus as well. I am considering for hearing aids. Will it be helpful for me? And does 18 channel or 24 channel hearing make any difference? Which kind of hearing aid will be best for me?
