If you are completely deaf in one ear is there a surgical procedure where you can get your hearing back?

Answer 1

As noted above, it all depends on the cause of the hearing loss.

If it is primarily a conductive loss -- where the sound is not able to travel through to the inner ear (due to ear wax, fluid/infection, calcification of the tiny ear bones, a hole in the eardrum, etc), there are usually surgical options to try to correct the cause. If there are no corrective surgeries, there is an implantable hearing device called the Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) that picks up the sounds and transmits them directly to the inner ear via vibrations in the skull.

If the hearing loss is mainly sensorineural, this means that the inner ear and/or auditory nerve are not transmitting the sounds to the brain. This is usually a permanent loss, and tends to progressively get worse. Most hearing loss due to aging, noise exposure, medical conditions and medications is sensorineural. If the heairng loss is profound, and the primary cause is the inner ear with the auditory nerve intact, there is an implatable device called a chochlear implant. That device is designed to do the work of the inner ear and stimulate the auditory nerve to send sounds up to the brain. This does not restore "normal" hearing. The sounds that are heard are very different and the person needs training and therapy to learn how to process the auditory information.

Answer 2

It all depends of what the cause of your original deafness is caused by.
They do have cochlear implant surgeries that do restore a good amount of hearing loss... simulated but better than nothing. And again, it's specific for certain types of deafness.

Check into it.

Answer 3

Go get a thorough exam and possible referral by a professional audiologist. Treatments have advanced substantially in recent years. Much will depend on your specific medical details.

Answer 4

I believe it depends on what is causing the deafness. I've heard there are some causes that can be remedied.
