About the rating

I had sleep apnea and hearing loss. My doctor recommended getting my adenoids removed, fixing a deviated septum and having ear tubes inserted to drain the fluid buildup.

The experience at the hospital leading up to the surgery and after was uneventful. The pain level was manageable with Percocet.

 

My Advice

Talk to your physician about all the different causes of hearing loss and approaches to treat recurrent infections and blockages.
