Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Hi Terrance, I understand that after a canal wall down, regular doctor visits are necessary to keep the ear cleaned out. It will no longer be the self-cleaning ear it was born to be. Just thought you might like to ask your surgeon about this and prepare yourself....

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Kazzy, Thank you for your advice. There seams to be a missunderstanding here. I did not write the comment below. My surgey is scheduled for Dec 15th and I plan to have it preformed. Thanks again for the advice. However, whoever, did write that should take your advice.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hey, Is your hearing at 30 percent total in your left ear? I just had my hearing tested and doc says 70 decibles before my ear hears. I understand that to be loud, LOL. I could have told them that. SO you are glad for the surgery but would have preferred something else to canal wall down? I have had several canal wall up surgeries. I have reconstruction coming up. Glad your taste came back. I remember losing mine. NO FUN. --- bryantsinalaska <bryantsinalaska@...> wrote: > > Hi all, its been awhile since I wrote so I thought I > would update > you all.
