After my recent brain surgery, I was deaf as a post in my right ear. All I had in that ear was screeching tinnitus. It was quite unpleasant, and I was worried that the damage might be permanent, but the doc said it should sort itself out in 6 weeks. It actually took 2 months before I noticed an improvement. It's now 4 months post-surgery and my hearing has fully recovered.

I hated being deaf in one ear. It threw my perception of my surroundings off because I couldn't tell where sounds were coming from. You don't realise how important that ability is until you lose it. I now have a lot more empathy for people with hearing impairment.

Every now and then wax on the eardrum completely blocks my hearing. I am absolutely with you Cam - it throws you completely out of whack. As Joni sang, 'you don't know what you've got til it's gone'.
 
Glad your hearing came back....very isolating to not follow a conversation. I have some hearing loss in one ear. Makes it hard to troubleshoot mechanical problems when you can hear the sound but hard to hear where it is coming from.
On the other hand if you sleep with a snorer...sleep on your good ear.....blissful.
