QUICK CLARIFICATION ON THE BAHA

I wanted to give a quick clarification on how the BAHA works for Elizabeth.

From http://www.umm.edu/otolaryngology/baha.htm -The BAHA allows sound to be conducted through the bone rather than via the middle ear. The system works by enhancing natural bone transmission as a pathway for sound to travel to the inner ear, bypassing the external auditory canal and middle ear.

She isn't hearing any better out of her "good" ear ~she is now able to actually hear sounds from the side that doesn't have an ear!
