I HAD TYMPANOSTOMY DONE AND NOW I HAVE DIMINISHED HEARING, MUFFLED SOUND

No one has an answer?

Its true a ruptured eardrum will take a long time to heal but it will. Its common to have complications from those tubes being inserted. I think this is why doctors don't recommend them unless you have severe.

 tympanostomy are done for kid all the time for chronic ear infection. I hate this feeling I have. Sometimes I want to kill myself.

It 3 weeks since the tubes where take out. I still have the echo and pressure difference...it is better..but still there.  I developed an atrocious low frequency humming / vibration sounds in my right ear.  The only things I can attempt to compare it to would be the sound when you are inside a building and someone drives by with very loud bass in their car.  Or, I could sometimes describe it as a car running off in the distance, or someone strumming a low frequency note on a bass guitar.  It's devastating affect on my mood and sleep.  A low-frequency loud roaring sound. the noise feels like it has a throbbing pulse

low-pitched vibrating type of sound,I find that it increases when I lie on my bed - especially when I put my ears against my pillow. This makes sleeping really uncomfortable and makes me really anxious and self-aware the whole night, and I am really distressed by it. Has anyone suffered from the same thing? Does anyone have any advice?

One way I would describe it is perhaps machinery running continuously in the distance, or the rumble of a loud car exhausted in the street. I can almost 'feel' the sound in my head, its so unnerving at times especially at the moment as its been pretty bad for a few days now. I also find that sometimes it can just go away, often for a few days and then it will be back. I simply cannot understand it,

I got my ear check by the GP again and she said the hole is still there and the size hasn't changed since since 3 weeks ago. I am so upset...and sadden by this

What else did she tell you did she say it will heal..?

I am going to see the ENT on Sat and I will keep you up to date

I went to the ENT again this Sat. She told that there was  crust remains on the tympanic membrane and that is why it wasn't closing.  She removed it and then used  silver nitrate to cauterize the rim of a perforation.

Early removal of any late crusting near the perforation margin might help prevent late-formed crust from sealing the perforation edges and avoid mechanical prevention of perforation closure, thereby accelerating eardrum healing,

There is tinnitus, but no echoing this time. I do have ear lose on the ear for sure. I have to start all over again...for the healing 4-6 weeks again..UGH............
