I've had 3 ops on right to remove c toma and 2 on left, my hearing is of no use

in my left ear, and my right ear has severe mixed hearing loss,i still suffer

with discharge in right ear and i am back to see surgeon on 24th this month. I

have had balance problems since the 2 ops last year and have re hab using

exercisies to help me adjust, its not easy. Some days i struggle to get around

and i too look like i've had a right skinful of beer. And somedays i feel quite

dizzy and it feels awful.

Good luck on the 15th.I'll be glad when all this is over,if it ever ends. I am

currently awaiting a decission on being fitted with a BAHA. That should help

keeping the ear 'free' and open.

I agree that the c-toma is not understood by most non sufferers,and alot of

people don't understand how difficult the balance and dizzy issues are, and how

it really affects day today life.

Good lluck
