What is Stapedectomy Recovery like?

Yes, the sounds will start to be at a more normal volume for you as your brain adjusts to the fact that you are now hearing sound again. I about peed myself the first time I turned on the garbage disposal after packing was removed. Sounded like a jet plane landing in my kitchen. I had the surgery at the end of Oct and by mid Dec the amplification of sounds was gone.

Thanks so much bettina68 for giving me a little peace of mind. I had my surgery just 2days before you did. According to the latest hearing test (and my one assessment), my operative ear improved 60% just after 2 month, which is very good. But 3 month after surgery, amplification seems to be the same. Both my ENT surgeon and my neurologist assure me that it'll be gone as soon as my brain adjust to the new sound, but they say that no any doctors in a world can give you specific time frame. It could be a one month, six months or even a year. So you were the lucky one))). Can you please tell me if, in your case, this adjustment happened gradually or just on "one beautiful day?" Thanks again.
