i'm disgusted by ear hair. the kind that grows out of the ear holes. it's just as horrible as nose hair that grows out of the nose holes.

My grandpa had this and I really hated it. I have one tiny hair that likes to grow downward from my nose and I am totally on top that baby...

I can hear!!!!! People have distinct voices!!! There is ambient noise!!!

Seriously disturbed at how loud I had the music in my car and on my laptop... I put the car on what I had before, it was fucking blasting.

So the doctor said my adenoids are the most swollen he's ever seen. He told me I'd be a good candidate for this clinical trial: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014...86082435207884 except that he doesn't think they could get the balloon past my adenoids.

But I can hear!!!

my left ear is draining a lot and is kinda... not painful but, uncomfortable. like i keep wanting to fuck with it to get it to stop feeling weird. its a full feeling but also like... before it was full and it felt like i couldnt manipulate it. now it feels like its there ready to come out, probably because it is. patience.

so my ears hurt now and i have a whooshing sound constantly in my right ear (blood pressure is normal), and through the day today my hearing started getting muffled again. it's not like it was before but it is not good. some drainage through the tubes which i think is normal. but i know my hearing isnt supposed to get worse at all, and pain shouldn't suddenly appear where there was none. a few customers got pissed at me today because they had to repeat themselves several times. when i first go into work i noticed my hearing was a little muffled, but by the end of the day now i'm very noticeably losing my hearing

kinda angry at this point

Ah Erica that sucks. will you have to go back to your GP to get another referral for the specialist again or can you go straight back? You shouldn't have to pay for additional surgery because whatever you've already paid should be enough that the apron lays longer than a few days. I would be angry, too.

i can go right back, no referrals are needed for my insurance.

right now i actually feel better, but it's so hard to tell, when i'm around a lot of people it is much more obvious how well i am hearing. my ears dont hurt right now though. hopefully it was just a today thing?

and nah, if i need more stuff i'll have to pay my 20%. that's just how it goes. im assuming if i do continue to have problems i'll have to get an MRI of my head. but im sure first i'd try an antibiotic and steroid again.

my salivary gland on my cheek is slightly swollen and tender, my jawline right under it is tender and hurts if I touch it, and it feels like I have a canker sore in the back upper part of the gums but I can't actually feel or see it. This was right after I was pretty congested. No fever. Hope its just a minor infection that goes away. I literally can not take any time off work until at least November.

It didn't work. It's worse. I think I have an abscessed tooth. I probably need a root canal.

I asked this in another thread but is there any clue as to what the underlying cause of all this could be?

yeah, allergies, i got ear infections and they wouldn't drain because my allergies are inflaming my eustachian tubes and adenoids so much that nothing can get out of the middle ear area

the tubes are to offer an alternate way for any kind of fluid to drain and also to equalize pressure in my sinuses/eustachian tubes so that they stay open

so the tubes are in and stuff but there continues to be an infection which is making pus that cannot escape my middle ear because my ear and eustachian tubes have not had a period of non-infection to adjust to the tubes and the pus is too thick to drain easily out of the tubes themselves

basically once the infections are gone my ears should be better and the natural moisture will be thin enough to be able to escape through the tubes or the eustachian tube, which will be opened more because of the equalization in pressure, and fluid won't build up and subsequently get infected and fuck up my hearing

then i need to control my allergies to actually stop the inflammation process in the future, so my ears can work without artificial tubes, but that will take several years

i am gonna estimate i have about 75% of my max hearing restored. i still have to get people to repeat themselves a lot but i can get most things if someone is in front of me and not to my back/sides
