They removed my tube. Said the tube had fallen into my middle ear and my eardrum didn’t heal around the tube like it should
I think you and I have had similar issues. I had an ear infection that wasn’t clearing up after two rounds of strong antibiotics. I lost most of my hearing in my right ear. The clogged feeling was driving me nuts so the ENT recommended putting a tube in. However, afterwards I felt no relief and there was no fluid which had him perplexed. My hearing improved a little bit but hearing myself breathe and the pressure is driving me insane. Since it wasn’t improving we did an MRI. They said it looks like mastoiditis . My next option was to have a surgery to drill a hole or something like that so I went to a new dr. The new doctor wanted me to try some different ear drops. I haven’t had any improvement. I’m becoming so depressed because nobody ever seems to improve nor does anyone seem to know why it is. Sorry for such a lengthy reply but I desperately need to know I’m not crazy and I’m not making this up.
Hi Susie, I’m going to the dr. Tomorrow to discuss getting mine removed. It’s been horrible.
