Help: Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSHL) - very scary

The unfortunate reality is that sometimes this does not go away. If it doesn't improve a cochlear implant may be an option for you. My sensorineural hearing loss progressed over time, so my cochlear implant story is different. However, I know several people who have experienced SSHL as you have. All of them have regained hearing with cochlear implants.
You didn't mention your left ear. Is your SSHL single sided?

Thank you for your input. Much appreciated. I did discuss the cochlear implants option with my ENT. He feels going down this path now is premature. He wants to see if my hearing returns in the next five months. Thankfully, my left ear is normal. If you think of any other treatment options I should consider please let me know. Again thank you for feedback.
