Update on my ear

Well, this late morning i had an appointment to follow up on my ear... but morning got TH Test and IMT for tml's range.. have to miss it... wasted.. cuz its a new weapon live range for most of us... its P226...

But anyway, the doc said my ear is healing well.. and did a hearing test... results were expected.. a drop in hearing in the right ear before the op.. he wasn't surprised as he expected it and explained why...

I asked would such incident happen again.. and whether my left ear will have such thing too... he said that there is a chance that it might happen in the same ear again.. since now my right ear is modified and it may lose the natural ability to "clean itself" of tissue and dirt. A normal healthy ear is "self-cleaning" , meaning tissue and dirt with automatically drop out of the ear and not stay or get stucked inside the ear...

He said that currently.. every 6 moths.. i would have to go see an ENT surgeon to clean my ear inside to prevent any detoriation of my ear... and maybe in a years time, he might consider an op to improve my hearing... he told me that for my case, its required to have long term follow up to monitor the situation.

the chances of this happening to my left ear is low but still probable.. he will monitor my left ear too...
