IMHO, most of us don't get the "WOW" factor with the Baha. At first I was amazed that I could hear some things I missed in the 5 years since I became single-sided deaf (severe loss, not profound). As time wore on, I wondered if it was making any difference at all - until I forgot to put it on one morning in my rush to get to work! I have normal hearing in my "good" ear, and I feel I benefit from the Baha. I have never regretted it.
