help

Guys..I ve been having this for somtime. I fly non pressurized upto 10K abt 4 to 6 times a day and eversince i stated this, I ve been having EU problems.

Would it make anydifference if i Go into pressurized aircrafts? The other thing is, What if u get the junk behind the eardrum drained out by surgery and not putting the tubesa afterwards???

My doctor says that should be fine and when i asked abt hearing loss due to scars and hardening of the eardrum, he says i dont have to worry a sigle bit abt it.

and last, If this does not work out, What if i get them permanant tubes in? I know the tubes will keep the PE tube open from outside and u wont have to worry about the pressure difference and mucus getting into the EU tube.
The problem with ther permanant tubes are that it leaves perforations. but as long as it is there, wont it b OK??
