Like you Kristina I can not hear music anymore. I gave my dad a grandfather clock when my son passed away many years ago. My dad has also passed about 6 years ago. When I am feeling so overwhelmed I hear the grandfather clock chimes. When I had to decide this week which ear to have the CI put in, I asked my dad to help me. All of a sudden the chimes started, but this time only in one ear. So I made my decision hoping that the ear I heard the chimes in was my "good" ear and to have my left ear implanted.
Smart choice, as I did the same thing. You might be able to enjoy music again after you get used to your CI. For me, it is the best thing about the CI, musical clarity. Not perfect, but so much better than my hearing aid.
Anyway, listening to one of my old favorites tonight:

Lyrics:
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on
'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone
