Saw my Ear Doctor a bit ago. My only option is surgery. What I have behind my ear is dead skin, that's been slowly growing over the years, causing an infection that's eating away at the bone that bounces the sound off to my eardrum. They will be making an incision behind my ear and going trough the ear. It's an outpatient procedure so it's done in about 2 hours. I can't do anything 24 hours after. And in about 2 days I should be back to normal. They will be putting medical gel in my ear, and will stay in there for a month or so, slowly draining. Also my hearing will be reduced as my ear heals. It will slowly come back and could take up to two months.
Now the Doctor Isn't 100% percent sure if the surgery will help improve my hearing in that ear. BUT at least the infection will be cleaned out. THEN they will deal with the hearing.
Kind of nerve racking. But I was expecting this. At least it's not major surgery!
I should be getting a call to have the procedure st up in the next couple of days.
