Sudden Hearing Loss: What are options if steroids don't work?

I had sudden hearing loss is one ear in 2014. Normal MRI, started steroids 3 days later but it didn't do anything. My question now is that I have gotten used to using one hearing aid but I am wondering if it would be worth it to try the device that would transmit the sound to the hearing aid I hear with. I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has experience using this system after using a single device for so many years. It took me a few years to adjust to one.

I had sudden hearing loss in one ear 8 years ago. I have been wearing Phonak bicros since my loss. I am considering the new Osia from cochlear. The feedback has been positive so for

After my sudden sensorineural loss I was fit with Cros by Phonak. After 5 years I was fit with an Oticon Cros which can adjust sound on my IPhone. I am adapting to it and like it. Feeds into the Bluetooth aid and particularly good reducing background noise. These two companies are the only ones to make a Cros as I understand and Oticon offers this adjustable remote on my phone. Phonak does not.

Hello
I had the misfortune of losing all hearing in one ear in October, 2019. I also lost my ability to balance the same night. It turned out that these were symptoms of an autoimmune disorder and that my nerves had been destroyed/badly damaged. Once I was certain that my deafness was not going away I ordered, and have been wearing Oticon bi-cross aids. The aid on my deaf ear blue-tooth’s the sound to my hearing ear. My husband, on the other hand, has had a similar problem for many years. He uses a Baha (bone anchored hearing aid) which essentially accomplishes the same thing. The sounds go through his skull rather than using blue-tooth. These seem to be the options currently available. Best of luck to you with this.
