A. YES. DEFINITELY!  There are many surgical options to treat hearing loss. This is another reason why it is important to have your hearing tested by a doctor of audiology. Doctors of audiology are not focused only on selling hearing devices. Audiologists can test for the various types of hearing loss including testing for cochlear implant candidacy. Hearing instrument specialists are limited to very basic hearing screening and their main goal is to profit from hearing aid sales.  If you have a conductive hearing loss, surgical options are available that can correct your hearing. There are also completely implantable hearing aids that work for individuals with sensorineural hearing loss and eliminate the need to wear hearing devices on your ears. Other surgical devices known as cochlear implants help to restore hearing to individuals who don't receive much help from hearing aids. There is a new hybrid cochlear implant that is meant for people who have really bad high frequency hearing loss and more mild to moderate low frequency hearing loss. Definitely seek out an audiologist if you feel this might be an option for you.
