Hearing troubles...

[inkjunkie]

Wife got sick, again, when she got home from her trip to AZ. Got an ear infection amongst other things. Never cleared up. Went to see the ENT. She had a hearing test. She has Conductive Hearing Loss caused by Eustatian Tube Dysfunction. Doc told her she has air bubbles trapped behind her drum. Told her to pinch her nose and swallow 6 times or so an hour. Gave her a list of over the counter stuff she wants her to take. Said if it does not clear out in a few weeks they are going to have to pop her ear drum & might have to put some sort of tube in her ears. Anyone ever had this done?

I need it also. I have had my ear drums perforated twice. Not a fun experience at all. I get around 5 infections a year because my ears don't drain so the doc said I needed tubes. I haven't gotten around to it yet though
