Been chatting with him. Thanks everyone. After surgery I am deaf in one ear with a really loud ringing that is driving me nuts.

I was wondering if there was enough of your hearing "parts" left after surgery for a cochlear to work, but if your DR thinks it would help, there must be.

I have lived with that ringing my entire life and was classified 4F, medically unfit, to be drafted into the military because of severe high frequency hearing loss at age 19. It has gotten worse over time and is now the predominant sound I "hear". I know the feeling of it driving you nuts...
I'm surprised to read Medicare will cover the implants, as they wouldn't 10-12 years ago, but did cover about 50% of my hearing aids at that time.
I hope you can get help with this and maybe get some/all of your hearing back and a reduction in the ringing. I was told even with the implant, I would still have it at some level because of the damage done during infancy.
