Well I got so bad news well sort of bad. The ENT was very hopeful that I would retain hear from the way the surgery went. However, yesterday I did an hearing test and I have nothing on the left side so I will ssd. Kind of a bummer but I knew going in that it was 50/50 at best.

Roger -

I'm sorry to hear you are SSD.  It was my hope to retain some of my hearing also post op - which is why I chose retrosigmoid - but it just didn't work out that way.

Being SSD isn't that bad; most people adjust to it within a few months.  If you find you are not adjusting, please look into the TransEar and the BAHA; both of them are excellent options for those of us who are SSD.

I have a BAHA and am really happy with it; if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
