Good morning, I had another checkup on November 18th, and was advised my ear drum is completely healed. I had a tympanogram which showed improvement in hearing compared to my tympanogram from March, but I will say I honestly cannot tell a difference. I still cannot hear well and I still have...

Good evening, Today is Wednesday, October 6th. I had my checkup yesterday with my ENT doctor. The ear structure that was eroded was my Stapes. Doc says it’s completely gone. He removed the packing in my Outer Ear, but I still have packing in my Middle Ear that will dissolve in due time. Has...

Good morning, I had my surgery yesterday, September 16th. Doctor said my surgery should be straight forward after looking at my CT scan from June. Turns out, the cholesteatoma grew in a matter of 3 months and destroyed my ear structures. So, as a result I need to have my ear structures rebuilt...

Update! I was supposed to have my surgery on Thursday, July 29th, but the surgery center bumped me to September 15th. I will try to move it up as I’m having family from the West Coast stay with us in mid-September. I will keep you updated. So far, I still have white noise in my right ear that...

This is the second opinion, but he’s a well known doctor where I live in Florida. His name is Scott Greene. He usually does cochlear implants. Yeah, being intubated isn’t ideal, but my parents have done it many times. My mother is a transplant recipient, and my father was intubated for his gall...

Chiro didn’t help me either. The CT scan did show that my Eustachian tubes are cleared and working. Hope you can find a way for your tinnitus to go away.

Good morning, I had my meeting with my doctor yesterday. He showed me the grayed out areas of my CT scan, and said that is the cholesteatoma. He said the radiologist said it looks like fluid, but the doctor explained it isn’t and compared it to my good ear. The good ear showed the pockets of...

Good afternoon, I just had my CAT scan. It hasn’t been deciphered by a doctor yet, but I did get to see the digital scan. My right ear (the bad ear) definitely does not look like my left ear at all. My left ear looks completely clear and you can even see the opening of the Eustachian tube. I am...

Good morning, My thyroid panel is tomorrow, but I did see a new ENT Thursday. He believes I have no fluid behind my eardrum, but that I have a cholesteatoma. It’s a cyst behind the eardrum. I’m going to have a CT scan within the next two weeks to confirm. If so, he believes surgery will be an...

Good morning, Another update... I was supposed to have a thyroid panel done, and the doctor accidentally did not send it in. He sent in general studies and a B12/Folate panel. I got the results today, and I have low Ferritin. I’m wondering if this may be the reason why I have tinnitus in my...

No, the ringing in my left ear has always been very light (could be because there isn’t any fluid), I think the fluid amplifies the ringing. My right ear is loud, but I try my best to keep busy to tune it out. I noticed caffeine makes it worse. I’ve been doing research on natural remedies...

Hey guys! Another update. I’ve been going to the chiropractor twice a week. While my neck seems to be aligned better, my right ear still has fluid and ringing. My left ear is just white noise (easy to tune out). I am getting blood work done as I’ve done my research and believe my tinnitus is...

Another update! I went to the chiropractor last night, and he showed me an X-ray from my neck. He states my spine is too straight... which I believe him because he put my X-ray next to a healthy spine X-ray, and I have no curvature at all. He states that my top disc near the top of my spine is...

Wow, that is really encouraging! :)

I’m so sorry hun! Mine started on 1/11/2021. It was the day I got the Mirena inserted. I took two ibuprofens as advised. The assistant to the doctor also had a clogged ear she could not resolve. I held her hand during the procedure because it was painful. Turns out the doctor did not insert it...
