I am a childhood brain caner/caner like disease survivor with one-sided hearing loss, diabetes insipidus, and a severe allergy to tree nuts amongst a number of other medical complications. I do have a bone anchored hearing aid that transmits sound from my right into my left eardrum via bone vibrations, although this can sometimes cause me to easily overload and attain a sizable headache.
