I had 2 surgeries for removal of cholesteamomas in both my ears with reconstruction of inner ear with implants in both ears within 2 years. I know have severe dysgeusia however a scan was done and nerves were not severed . Blood tests were done and every possible reason was addressed but the cause has it been determined. I am 76 years old and have obviously had the growths for many years prior to their discovery. Is it at all possible that the cholesteatoma growths caused this condition over time? Would appreciate your thoughts on this . Thank you in advance
