I would suggest you start by getting a cochlear implant for your worst ear. Then you will still have some hearing with hearing aid in your other ear. It is a safe and very common surgery and things rarely go wrong. And nearly every cochlear recipient is happy they have had it done. For me, after one month I was hearing more than I have heard in years. I now put on the sound processor on one ear, hearing aid in the left, and 90% of the time I forget I'm deaf. With the hearing aids it was horrible as I missed so much. Some situations are still challenging - busy restaurants in particular, but generally things are great.
