13 days post surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Just a question, I woke up with my ear hurting more this morning. I

felt really run down as well. Just returned to work on Monday. I

stayed home some of the morning and then set off for work. I had a

holiday luncheon. I ended up leaving early because the noise was just

way to much and my ear was hurting and realllllllllyyyyyyyy ringing

loudly. I came home and took a nap and feel a little better now. My

ear is still ringing, but not any more than normal since surgery.

So now the question: do you find yourselves extra sensitive to air

pressure post surgery? We had a big rain storm move through today and

I'm wondering if this is why my ear hurts.

Also, has anyone else found noise to be so bothersome?

I still have packing in my right ear, although I hear my fingers

snapping if I turn off my hearing aid in the my left ear and snap

outside my right ear. Since surgery, noise has sent my ears buzzing

and ringing. The buzzing has subsided a lot. It was really annoying

for me to talk for the first 4 or 5 days post surgery. That really

made my ear " vibrate " and then buzz and ring.

Thanks for your thoughts and ideas.

Hello Connie.HECK YA! My ears hurt soooo bad sometimes from the air pressure I feel like my head will POP off! It is unbearable.. I live in the North Georiga Mountians and I tell you I know when a storm is coming before the Weather man does! The best thing I can tell you to do is NOSE sprays! It helps alot keeps your eustachian tubes open...and pop your ears as much as you can! GOOD LUCK

Hi Connie, I had [have] the same kind of problems that you describe.

The way my surgeon put it to me when I asked for possible reasons for

the noticeable increase in noise (tinnitus) post operation, was that

damage is invariably caused to nerves in the " drilling out " process

during the operation.

Sometimes the noise disappear in time, other people aren't so lucky.

I see you were 13 days post operation when you made your posting.

I don't know what kind of an op you had, but two weeks is classed as

'early days' from cholesteatoma surgery.

Again, quoting directly from the words of my surgeon, a full recovery

should not be expected until 3 months have elapsed from the operation

date.

Hang on in there; you'll make out in the end I'm sure.

Best regards,
