15 year-old daughter withrecurring ear issues

[Guest guest]

My daughter is headed to the Michigan Ear Institute today for an exam

following the rejection of an ossicular-chain prosthesis. She lost the

incus and stapes due to cholesteatoma a couple years ago, and just this

past summer was complaining of total deafness in that ear. After drops

to soften some earwax, the Dr. removed a good amount of debris and

found that the prosthesis had been expelled at an earlier date, and

that the eardrum was healed. She has been through 8 surgeries so far,

two for removal of cholesteatoma, the rest for tympanoplasty and

mastoidectomy, and the last was the prosthesis to replace the eroded

incus and stapes. Has anyone gone through a second ossicular chain

reconstruction? I'm really frightened that at this point, nothing more

can be done to help her.
