@rlsutton If the hearing loss is single sided, you might benefit from a bicross hearing aid. That sends sound from the hear that doesn't hear to the side that does. That would help with that directional issue.
A cochlear implant could very possibly give you back the hearing on the damaged side. Let us know if you find help.

@julieo4 I lost my hearing in my left ear from the surgery performed for hemifacial spasm. The surgery is called microvascular decompression. I now use the cros-hearing aid in my left ear to send the sound to my right ear. It does not help with directional hearing. The right ear gets bombarded with all the sound. The only time it's beneficial is when you are in a discussion with someone sitting directly to your left. And when in a noisy room, it doesn't even help, then.
