sure,your body will adapt and the left ear will work for the right one. if you have severe hearing loss, also think about a hearing aid. it will probably also help a lot with your Tinnitus, there are many people who can't hear their T with a well adjusted hearing aid. also...since when do you have the hearing loss? if it hasn't been very long I would try cortison drug infusions... sometimes they can help recover some hearing if it hasn't been too long.
