Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 For those who've had the surgery done from behind the ear, does the numbness ever go away or lessen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 my doctor said it would take about 6 months for the numbness to go away - so I will see if he is right in about 3 more months.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yes, it does go away. Mine took a very long time to go away completely (I don't remember exactly, but it was probably close to a year). I thought it was going to stay numb forever!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I've always wondered if we simply get so used to how it feels that we think nothing of it. In any case ... six months is about right.
