Stapedectomy caused tinnitus and other hearing issues

Yes. They say 1% of probabilities of issues, but that is not true. It's a lot more, I think they say it because surgery means money. I was kindda deaf in my left ear for decades, but was a normal guy, which I'm not anymore.
If my experience can help someone thinking of stapedectomy, don't, if you can cope with being a bit deaf and some tinnitus. Not worth.

I absolutely agree. I so wish I had read this before having a stapedectomy over a year ago. The worst thing that ever happened to me. I wish I had never had the operation. I am so angry and depressed. I feel like a victim. The surgeons criteria for success has nothing to do with patients' experience. At least this is true for me. I feel it ruined my life. I have to work so hard mentally to get past this horrible operation and experience. 😞
