since i do not know the medical details of your case. only what you have shared the insertion of tubes would seem appropriate after three months. your ent has tried the non-surgical methods and the lancing so tubes would be next. your hearing preservation is important to your ent as well so unless you do not trust your ent i would suggest that you see a second ent for another opinion before tube insertion.
3 months now left ear blocked eardrum was lanced ent wants tube. decongestants didnt work. caused by ear infection. had ear infection in end of nov used 2 different antibiotics. have had pressure and pain since. given decongestant nasal sprays prescribed by an ent. had nasal scoped. hearing test showed low normal. had eardrum lanced 3 weeks ago due to being caved in and bloodshot. no fluid present. used steroid drops. has since healed and pressure has returned with off and on pain. doc wants to put in a tube i'm hesitant. i'm a 911 dispatcher and my hearing ability is my job. any thoughts or suggestions?
