Suggest Treatments For Hearing Loss In Spite Of A Surgery

I had surgery fifteen years ago on my left ear. I received a mesh eardrum and had some kind of device installed that was supposed to improve my hearing. At first it worked, but was very slight in improving my hearing (buzzing to certain tones). Now I hear nothing (5-10%). Is this damage reversible? My incus bone is gone. The contraption inside is supposed to replace the bone and act as a receptor from the eardrum. Thank you.

But definitely something can always be done to get the hearing levels better that include surgery to hearing aids.
