Anyway, until 8 years ago, I had been getting tubes in my ears since I was little and that is many years, trust me, then something happened to my specialist at that time and he can't operate anymore since it involved an accident to his hands. I truly miss the guy...so after that, it was going from one specialist to another just to try and get to know everyone and to keep my ear tubes going. I had to get a new tube put in every year. But since 98 it's been the same tube in my right ear. My left ear is perforated, gone and not able to hear out of it anymore and my right is going slowly. My specialist I have now is great, and today, he finally pulled the old tube out because this year has been the worst for infections and we felt that it was long overdue to take it out, so as soon as he took my tube out and suctioned my ear, I put my hearing aid in and ever since then I can't hear barely, I'm already severly hard of hearing but it's worse than it was when the tube was in this afternoon...he doesn't know why either cause all he did was pull it out and suction. I am now on antibiotics and will see him in 3 weeks to see how my ear has healed and if it's better enough to get another tube in again, since today isn't good due to infection. Anyone else have this happen??? Sucks!
