How long to get over sinus enlargement surgery?

I had sinus surgery 5 weeks ago and now I lost hearing in my ear.
It's been 4, almost 5 weeks now since they did a balloon sinoplasty and opened up my sinuses and clipped the turbines too. I suddenly lost complete hearing in my right ear and it's filled with fluid, as is my whole head. Up until last week I felt fine. Now this. So much congestion. I cannot hear out of that side. Went back at 4 weeks and they debrided. Said no need to come back. Is this normal?

I got a full ear after one of my sinus surgeries .. a normal result he said . Antibiotics took it away . Nothing after the next two . I grow polyps like potatoes apparently 🙂

That’s a very reasonable concern — and it’s not normal for hearing loss and head congestion to suddenly appear weeks after a balloon sinuplasty and turbinate reduction. It doesn’t automatically mean something irreversible has happened, but it needs medical reassessment, not just “wait and see.”
