Just found out I have a c-toma

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I was diagnosed with a c-toma a month or so ago. From what I've read

here, my story is fairly typical. I'm 42 years old and have had

recurring ear infections every year, all my life. My c-toma is

advanced and may have been in place for years. My ENT tells me the

bones of my ear have melted away from the recurring infections. I

don't have any noticeable hearing loss though, so I'm hoping that will

remain the case.

He also said that my c-toma may be conducting sound to my inner ear in

place of the normal dinky bones that are supposed to be in there. He

is going to get more resolution from the CT scan first so we'll know.

I'll be going into surgery sometime in the coming weeks. For those of

you who are in the same position, I wish you all the best of luck.
