TUBES IN EARS AT 77 ? WOULD IT HELP ?

Hello I am sure all these have been discussed before but I seem to have all of them... lived with occasional tinnitus for years that I could live with (odd ting or chirp in either ear occasionally); mild hearing loss ... compensating by turning up tv etc for now; keep having to ask spouse to repeat what he says but can hear him putting kibble in dogs bowl in morning downstairs.. also our furnace and fridges coming on and off can wake me up; ears feel plugged at times and echo in ears when I talk sometimes.. but the pain is the worst thing. 2017 had really bad cold/throat and that's when first time pain in ear and its mostly right ar.
Then glaucoma diagnosis mid 2018 could not take steroids etc. and on and on it went. Had right side thyroid removed 2008. Have stringy mucus cosntantly now from right nasal cavity but least of my problems along with neuropathy etc. (and depression)
I have been waiting about 9 months for ent I saw Feb.2019 to be phoning me March 23 as cant travel out of town with ibs-d and fecal incontinenc and I am not sure what to mention first when doctor phones (as no office appointments re covid) I have pain from bowel issues but wont mention that as not under ENT.
. How he will diagnose over phone I am not sure, should I write him a letter in the meantime mentioning the above so we dont spend time talking about all this? The pain is my main concern as it lasts for several hours a few times a day and even noise hurts, although have some haring loss: I dont understand what is going on.... someone said maybe they will put tubes in my ears so I a worried, especially since if have to also have antibiotic.Anyone had this done please?
