[Guest guest]

Wow...u have been through a lot with this disease! I was diagnosed with a cholesteatoma 8 years ago and was unable to have the surgery to remove it because my insurance company said it was a pre existing condition and denied the claim....now....im waiting for approval for insurance so I can maybe get some treatment.....I have lost almoast all my hearing on that side and it is constantly oozing smelly stuff....no pain but at times my jaw locks and I get headaches....im scared cause this has been brewing for 8 years and I have no idea whats going on in there....but I hope u feel better soon and yes all ur little gadgets purchased on amazon are pretty cool and im gonna look into getting some myself...so thanks CristinaT-Mobile.

It felt like I was being poked; and it also felt like something moved in my ear (I didn't feel anything move, it felt as though perhaps since the last time I put my head back (e.g. to wash hair yesterday in shower) something shifted). Can you FEEL this titanium post if it moves out of place? Am I feeling things because the gelfoam is clearing?I go back to the doc in about 3 weeks; wish it was sooner. I feel better hearing him say 'it is looking good'!So stressful - hate all this.Thanks for reading again!ShariP.S. Ladies, when you put your makeup on and make 'stretchy faces' (funny I know), do you worry that this will shift things w/in the newly operated ear??? They don't put this girly-girl stuff on the Net anywhere, not on the physician's sites anyway.------------------------------------

My son has a titanium implant and he felt weird things in the first couple of months. In fact we only did a follow up hearing test and assessment a full 3 months after the op to give it time to heal and settle in. In fact we thought it had not helped at all initially and with the new symptoms I was even thinking we shouldn't have done it... but 3 months later his hearing is MUCH improved. Hope you have the same experience. All the best.
