A member asked:
I had ear tubes put in yesterday and now i can barely hear out of my left ear and it hurts worse now than it did before, is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recovery....: Post surgical recovery can vary. If symptoms persist I would call/visit with ENT who put tubes in and discuss concerns and perform physical exam. Look for any signs of infection, tube failure.
