@ dannysingful, Part 2: "I went right to bed and slept all night. I've never had any sort of dizziness since immediately post op. The only nausea I experienced was related to anesthesia. There was no pain really. The worst thing: not being able to wash my hair for a while and not being able to blow my nose for a few weeks. Do not blow your nose until about a week after the doctor says you can. My opinion. The risks are there, but my experience was good. One day I'll get the other ear done."
@KrisAkira. How are you? How did your surgery go?! We are hoping everything went as planned or even better! We would love to hear from you again. Let us know how you're doing, please.
Thanks for sharing this. I have had a hearing loss in my right ear since I can remember as a young child and was diagnosed with otosclerosis when I was 14. I am 23 now and I felt like it was getting worse. I can't talk on the phone at all on the right side. I can't make out what people are saying on my right side, especially if there is a noisy background. I can't tell which direction noise is coming from. I had a hearing test done today, and it showed that I now have down to 50% hearing loss.
@ dannysingful: The patient in this video responded to your question. Due to RUclips's max character count restriction, I'll divide her answer into two separate posts: "It'll be okay. When I woke up after the surgery, the vertigo was intense. Blinking made me feel like I was falling over when I was still lying down. I wasn't sure how my ride was going to get me home and into the house, but by the time I got home about an hour later I could at least stand, kind of. " Continued...
I just had mine done today I still have the cotton ball in my ear lmao I can notice a difference even though my ear is filled with fluid. I’m happy cam across this video and it helped you
(Continued) The ENT doctor told me it's time to consider the stapedectomy and that I was a good candidate for it. So, i finally agreed. I have the surgery in 12 days, and I am really nervous. I don't know what new sounds I'll be hearing and if it will be really weird at first. The doctor also told me that I could start hearing better even within an hour of the surgery. I'm scared of how different it will sound, however I guess I should be excited. I hope I'll be ok. Wish me luck!
I had surgery almost 3 and half month ago, Right after surgery, when packing removed, i have much improved hearing, But right now i have again feeling gradual hearing loss, reason?
Hello, I really hope you read this post and can possibly email me. I have had stapedectomy surgery on both ears I need to know if it is ok to fly in a helicopter? It has been years and years since they were preformed and I ended up losing my hearing again due to inner ear infection in one ear. My other ear is ok and I am meant to be going on a helicopter ride. I cant find any information that says yes or no on the internet and my GP is unsure. I don't have time to get into a specialist :-(

This wonderful lady obviously hasn't read Isaiah's words in the Bible, look up Isaiah 35 :5; and 29:18, Jeremiah 6:10 and Mark 7:35 and Luke 7:22, nothing but nothing is impossible for my God Jehovah.
