Possibly: Depends on where nerve cut and what structures were removed during surgery, but worth a try to see if you can "feel" the sound instead of hear it the regular way.

Probably: If you still have normal hearing in your other ear you could hear with bone conduction headphones but could hear better with baha implant that would give even better hearing from the deafened side, relying on your residual hearing in the other ear. Talk to ENT about baha implant.
