It seems it is total sensory neural deafness where hardly any ENT surgeon can help. Except thinking about cochlear implant but it is ment for total deafness both sides.

I hope MRI brain had been done to rule out any tumor of the right side- single sided SNHL can often be the only sign. I agree, the best thing to be done for single sided nerve deafness is nothing at all! As it is, there is hardly any disability apparent as you can hear well with the other ear. If at all you need to hear from the affected side due to the specific demands of your occupation, a variety of interventions are possible:- 1. A CROS type hearing aid can be prescribed- this will pick up the sound from the right side and route it to the left ear, thus restoring functional performance. 2. A bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA) can be given. This again routes the sound from the right side to the left ear. 3. A cochlear implant can be done, however its use in single sided deafness is controversial. It involves major surgery as well as major expense (>15 lakh) as well as various risks. Probably not worth the effort.
