Attn: Connie Re: Ear plugs for flying

[Guest guest]

Katelyn flew about6 months post op and did use her molded earplugs on

her " good " ear to stop the popping. Her ctoma ear had/has a large

perforation and that ear did not seem to bother her while flying.

Check with your dr. about the postop timeframe for flying -- we were

told 6-8 weeks both times she had surgery -- each dr. seems to be

different so 4 weeks might be OK.
