Do not get it sucked as there may be fisttula, just use sterlized cottn swab to mop up all discharge

I find when I have to have the suction done on my ear that the vertigo from this is awful...Has anyone found an alternative method to this..??? could anitbiotics help to dry the ear out...I cant stand having this done and it doesnt seem to help as I constantly have cotton in my ear. I also wonder if keeping cotton in my ear is making it worse??? I did hear that using a syringe with apple cider vinegar to flush it out seems to work??? any suggestions would be helpful as I just cant stand having this done....thanks

I also hate the suction but don’t think there is a way around it. I made sure to find a doctor that was willing to take her time with me. Sometimes if I’m too dizzy, she will even leave the room to see the next patient and come back in

a few minutes to suction some more. I always have to have someone drive me to the appointment because I feel so sick afterward.

Take care,

HiI was diagnosed with this about 8 yrs ago and because it was considered a pre

existing condition my insurance company refused to cover the surgery. Here i am

8 yrs later and i have significant hearing loss on my right side and a constant

very smelly discharge, no pain but lately i have been getting headaches. Should

I be really worried? I mean if I keep putting it off does it get worse? I am so

scared of the surgery. After the surgery will I be able to live a normal life,

drive, work?
