[QUOTE="JackBeNimble, post: 658612, member: 18998"] I have tubes in both ears and 40 to 70 percent hearing loss depending on how much fluid is present. I'm told I have chronic ear syndrome and the fluid never stops flowing. My left ear is all man made parts as the fluid and infection destroyed everything. I am lucky to have two ENT's that are the best doctors in the world. Before finding them I had butchers for doctors that would put tubes in my infected ears without any anesthetic. The pain was horrible. The doctors I have now simply block the nerve so I feel no pain. For those of you that have a similar condition and have a doctor that gives you a lot of pain, don't put up with it. Older doctors from small towns and cities lack the skills. Since moving to a large city I have had much better doctoring. If I would have stayed in the small city with the morons they had for doctors there is no doubt in my mind that I'd be dead by now. If you require tubes in your ears to drain the fluid and keep the infection from developing you are not cured. Fluid in your ears in not a normal condition period. There are numerous reasons for fluid in your ears and continued infections. I've had to have bone around my ears removed because of pockets of void areas harboring bacteria. These are caused by having high fevers in my youth. One of my ENT doctors does six operations a year to fix a hole in the membrane to the brain. This hole leaks brain fluid into the ear and is also caused by high fevers. The most common reason is a eustachian tube dysfunction [I]which [/I]is what I have causing the problem. [/QUOTE]
