Can I go watch a movie after Myringoplasty?

Posted , 2 users are following.

This is probably a silly question but I had to ask since I'm being extra cautious because I just had the packing removed today from the operated ear. Everything is good, the graft has taken up nicely. Which is amazing given that I got sick few days ago. I was wondering if I can go watch a movie? It's going to be loud, would it affect the graft?

    I don't believe it would cause any damage to the graft, Its more of a case how sensitive you hearing is and wether you would find it comfortable. You could always use cotton wool with a dab of vasaline to shut it off if it is bothering you. Hope you enjoy the film. Al

      Thanks! I've been cooped up at home for a month now and about to go mad since I can't do anything heavy.
