See ENT doc.: Hearing loss can have many causes. Some may be correctable or improved. Your best bet? See an Ear, Nose & Throat doc & see what's possible in your case. I suspect though that if you had something easily treatable, it would've been discussed with you before this. We make new advances every day, so there may be hope. Also, if you have records/hearing tests, consult an ENT MD on Healthtap Concierge

Hearing loss: Greetings. Hearing loss occurring in only 1 eR following an infection may not be treatable with a cochlear implant. This obviously depends on a host of variables. You will need to see your ENT doctor for a detailed history and physical examination. He/she may refer you to a sub specialist called a neurotologist who performs these procedures quite often. Good luck.
