8 days after surgery .... no change in hearing still

Posted , 3 users are following.

hello everyone,

I did my surgery 8 days ago in my left ear. I felt dizzy for the first 4 days or so yet it was not too bad. there was pai especially at night. I had to continue taking pain killers for the first 5 days but after that the pain almost went away.

my worry is that i was so hopeful to experience the loud sounds after surgery. it did not happen. I removed the pack yesterday and still the hearing did not improve nor got worse.

My ear feels blocked and the heartbeat sound never stopped since I woke up from surgery till now. I removed the pack yesterday and also.did not notice an improvement. the dr. said it is because of all the fluids that needs to be absorbed/dry out

....... quite frankly I am getting more anxious and rather depressed that my OP did not go well.

my doctor told me right after surgery that there were no complications and that the surgery went well.

your feedback is so highly appreciated
