I've been struggling with total hearing loss in one ear and hearing aids don't seem to work for me. Can you tell me more about cochlear implant surgery - like how it works, if I'd be a good candidate, and what the recovery process looks like? I'm really curious but also a bit nervous about the whole procedure.
