Tinnitus research: Any new techniques in abating tinnitus?

I guess my biggest question would be how to retrain an auditory nerve where there is zero hearing. I suffered SSHL in 2018 in my right ear. I have zero hearing in that ear, and I have severe 24/7 tinnitus on that side.

With SSHL, the auditory nerve is usually functional. It's the cochlea that is damaged. Bypassing the cochlea to stimulate the auditory nerve is what a cochlear implant does. The success rate is high.
Have you considered a cochlear implant evaluation?
