Hello Ryan, Welcome to Mayo Connect. I had this done a couple of times, and the results varied. May I ask you a few questions?
What led to the procedure, and do you already have either tinnitus or a hearing loss? Did they place tubes in your ears during the procedure or just open the ear drum? Was there any drainage from the ears, either during or after the procedure?

I know that's a lot of questions, but it can help figure out what the next step ought to be.
Sue
