Sudden hearing loss after a long flight

I just had my follow up with the ENT There is zero word recognition in the left ear, the only thing I can hear is the freakin ringing!!!. He recommended a Cochlear Implant. He did mention Bi-Cross hearing aid, but felt that the Cochlear would have better results.
Just testing the waters to see how people feel about each. If you were recommended the Cochlear and went thru with it or tried another device.

It takes time to adapt to the SSHL and yes to grieve over it. I tried acupuncture for a few months, unfortunately unhelpful, and for me very uncomfortable. After a few years I got the bicros hearing aids and a few yrs later stopped using the microphone in my deaf ear because all it did was relay sound to my right side. Was no help in helping me orient myself in space, not able to tell where sound is coming from. What they can help with is if someone is talking on your hearing loss side. You will hear that on your good side.
I think one day the science will improve. Meanwhile whatever you try can’t hurt, right?
