Calling all OCR recipients!!

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone!

I have been a member of the site for awhile now and just had my

surgery #5 last Thursday (March 30). I had a 2nd look for

cholesteatoma (all clear!) and OCR with a titanium prosthesis and

cartiledge graft.

I was just curious about how the prosthesis worked for other people

and what their experience was like as they healed and regained

hearing.

I feel like I already have a bit of a sensitivity to sound in my

newly constructed ear (I keep turning the tv down!) although I can't

actually hear yet. After being exposed to sound for a long period of

time my ear kind of buzzes, not like tinitus, more like how it feels

after being in a dance club all night.

I know not to expect results for a couple of weeks yet, and my doctor

fully expects my hearing to go back to normal (it had dropped to 40%

prior to surgery).

Thank you for all replies.

Laurel
