I don't know anything about this gel packing. I m using ear drop 2 a day and it is supposed to help the stuff desolve. Anyone have any knowlege about this. I did hear the tuning fork on the left side even with the packing in for the 1st time in 18 years. Also today I have been getting sharp quick pains behind the ear. called the Dr and he said it was Nearves thrying to heal?? You would think after 12 surgerys I would know this stuff. but they are all differnt.any help would be apprecieated.
