tinnitus before and after surgery

[Guest guest]

occ. from very sticky inner ear feeling, trouble popping and have had

a couple of bad ear infections lately. i am now waiting on surgery has

anyone else had a similar thing to me? and did the tinnitus go? get

worse? or was your hearing worse after surgery?thanks

Hi Caro

I sufferered with tinnitus caused by cholesteatoma before I had a CWU

mastoidectomy in 2003. The surgery left we with constant but fairly low-

level tinnitus but at least enabled me to get on with my life. Hearing

for me stayed much the same at 60%.

I was told that tinnitus was one of the risks of surgery, along with

deafness, facial paralysis, vertigo, pain. I know it sounds grim, but

whatever happens with surgery, the best outcome is to be free of

disease.

My c-toma has now recurred and my tinnitus now is far worse than it was

after first surgery. I'm also waiting for surgery.
