Is the stapes surgery for otosclorosis worth it?

Hi, I have otosclerosis bilaterally. I’m now 52. I had a stapes implant in 1996 in 1 ear. It improved my hearing tremendously. The surgery was so helpful I never needed hearing aids. After 20+ years I decided to get a hearing aid in the ear that has the implant. That ear is still my better ear for hearing. I wish I had done the surgery in both ears in 1996.

Had my staples replaced, lasted for about a year, went back in to reconnect and they cut a nerve and now I have no hearing in that ear. Guess I was 1 in a billion for that to happen..
