How good is a unilateral cochlear implant in the case of total hearing loss?

It has big potential: Depending on several factors, a cochlear implant will help restore functional hearing to most recipients. To find out more, you should schedule a cochlear implant evaluation with your nearest cochelar implant center.

Cochlear implant: Still considered experimental and an off label use of the device. It is quite effective at suppressing tinnitus but more difficult to balance the hearing quality. Also, insurance may not cover this indication.
