Will I regain my hearing in left ear?

@barbaradh A great deal has changed since your shared experience time. I encourage you to try hearing aids again. Technology has improved greatly, but to use it well you have to know HOW to use it. That takes time provided by the person fitting hearing aids.

I hated the plastic molds in my years when I first had them. However, in time I got used to them. I started using assistive technology with my hearing aids and went from feeling 'smart' to feeling totally left out because I could participate in social discourse with that add on technology that showed. That help came from other people who had hearing loss. Thanks to HLAA. http://www.hearingloss.org

There is so much to know in all fields of healthcare today. Patients tend to have a lot of information these days due to personal research done online. Some good and some not so good. Mayo Clinic Connect is a place to get information. Talking to other people who share the same health concerns is peer support, a concept that wasn't there years ago. It helps a great deal. It helps to be open about our unique needs.

Actually, sudden hearing loss does come on just that quickly. I was awake when mine happened, and it was like a switch was shut off on my right ear. I can tell you the exact date and what I was doing when it happened. Not realizing it was an emergency, I just assumed it was temporary like when you have a stuffed ear caused by a cold or something. Had I known better, I would have gone to the ER. The next morning, which was a Sunday, I woke up with severe vertigo so bad that I had to crawl when I was finally able to get put of bed. I contacted my PCP first thing Monday. They got me in to see a PA. No one seemed overly concerned by what was going on with me. I was sent to a physical therapist for the vertigo. Nothing got better so I went back to my PCP a few days later. By the time I got in to see an ENT, 10 days had passed. I had an MRI, and the steroid shot and meds did not bring my hearing back, but I later learned that an eatlier treatment would have given me a better chance. I have zero hearing in that ear. I had just had hearing tests on both ears 4 months before the SSHL so I knew my hearing was better than average for my age...no hearing aids needed.
About a year later, I had an Osia 2 bone conduction implant which helps with directional hearing, but I will never have the life I had before this happened. Only a person who has experienced sudden hearing loss will appreciate the life changing aspects of the phenomena. The sad part is that no one has ever been able to offer an explanation as to why this happened. There are theories, but no definitive answers. You just learn to live and cope with it. There are many things that can be worse in this life, but I still research for solutions. Never give up.

@lmayo The Osia 2 bone, is it the implant? How was the surgery and recovery , is it worthy?? I am going to try the cross hearing aids because the regular one doesn't work for me, I have 4% capacity to understand words on my left ear due to SSHL like yours. My right ear its totally fine, so I don't want to go for the implant, I am scare and I don't like that you can see it a lot more than the hearing aids.

@mapi If you are looking at options like Osia 2, the best advice I can give is to research it. It does require the implantation of a magnet that sits on the bone and holds the processor on. The processor actually attaches onto your head kind of above and behind the ear. Yes, it is visible although my hair hides mine. Unfortunately, the cross would not work for me because of my ear structure in my bad ear. That would have been my first choice. The surgery for the implant for the Osia 2 was not too bad. Of course there is always some minimal risk with any procedure. Mine healed well, and I have not had any problems. What the Osia allows is for sound coming from the direction of my deaf ear to be redirected. It let's me know what direction the sound is coming from, gives me more balance when walking, and amplifies the sound the processor is picking up. Find a good ENT who is thoroughly familiar with bone conduction implants. You can actually test one that is held on with a headband to give you an idea of how it would improve your hearing. Pride goeth before a fall, and the cosmetic aspect of wearing hearing apperati can be daunting, but we have to overcome the physical appearance to give ourselves a better quality of life. With everyone running around with ear buds and microphones in the ears these days, we just fit into society.
