What you should look for is CROS technology (the transmitter worn on your right will send the signal "wirelessly" to a hearing aid on the left, and the left hearing aid will amplify it according to the hearing loss in your left ear).

Here are the manufacturers that have CROS technology: Starkey, Phonak, Widex, and Signia (Siemens).

Good luck!
