Wow, this is a pretty big thread.

I am just about deaf in the right ear... birth defect that's gotten worse over time, they say. The audiologist said I was a good candidate for a BAHA or maybe an FM transmitter, but the ENT said it would be pointless. I'm not sure I like the guy anymore. I sometimes get vertigo, it's come and gone, but it's been a few years now.

Having cars pass me on the right that I can't hear does scare me now and then.
