Has anyone got some hearing back after radiosurgery?

My hearing was bad, got worse immediately after CK, and then returned to normal after 5 months.
Has gone down hill from there but has been stable for the last 5.
I am 14 years Post CK

My low frequencies are normal, mid range down a bit, high frequencies are poor.

With a hearing aid a don't notice any real deficit in my AN ear

I had poor hearing going in to CK and it dropped to no hearing right after the procedure.  Four months out it has returned to where it was before CK.

% years post CK and having my annual audiology test tomorrow- last year showed no drop off. Am still around 90% that ear. However I have had Covid 9 months ago and RSV before that so will see - next MRI this week also.
