@sepdvm I am reviving this conversation because I saw an ENT yesterday for chronic ear symptoms such as popping/fullness and mild but recurrent ear aches. The ENT suggested Myringotomy, which i’ve learned is the process for puncturing the ear drum but not putting in tubes. It sounds like many people commented shortly after the process. I’m reluctant to get the procedure done after reading about risks and then reading comments here. Can anyone comment how this worked out in the long run?

I’m even more nervous about getting tubes in my ears after reading possible complications and the ENT suggested that the myringotomy would be a good test to see if tubes would relieve my symptoms. Now that I’m thinking about it, it would also mean I’d have 2 sets of holes in my ears so makes me wonder if doing a myringotomy as a test is a bad idea too.

I’d love to hear how others have made out after this procedure. Thanks,
