Yes, I had a stapedectomy in October 2020. I did get some hearing back, but not as much as I'd hoped, and my tinnitus worsened in the operated ear.
Additionally, I got hyperacusis. For me, it presents like a radio that isn't in tune to the right station: you can hear the original sound, but there is a highly distorted, buzzing version on top of it. It is not tinnitus because it happens instantly while the sound is there and then goes away.
I wonder if it is related to air pressure sometimes, because it happens a lot when there is a window open in a car and I'm driving. Just a theory though.
For me, antihistamines make it significantly worse. I realized that when I stopped used Benadryl in particular, it got better. So maybe do a review of your OTC and prescription medicines and see if that can help.
I also bought the AirPods Pro. While spendy, they can be great with the noise cancellation feature to block out unwanted sounds.
Best of luck!
