If you press Shift + H it will unhide all objects in your scene. Unless you have hidden it with group.

Another option is using a wildcard in the select menu, like "polym*" and it will select all objects which its name starts with polym even if they are hidden.

Otherwise I think you'll have to use scripting to loop through all your objects and filter the hidden ones.

you can hit CTRL+F and "search scene" for "polygon mesh" and find the one with an "icon with a grey H"
or
Open a SpreadSheet and query for the "display", right click the column "view visibility" and sort it

Hope it helps

thanks, guys.
I have tried scene search with "polymesh" filter, but objects with turned off view visibility doesn't marked with "H" sign. So "shift+H" helps :)

When you hide only one visibility (View Visibility or Render Visibility) the H icon will be gray. If you hide both, it will be yellow.
