I think it would be best if call your AME with regards to you being fit to fly as only a Dr can advise on this. I suspect you wont be fit to fly though for a while <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> . .Hope you get better soon.

Ah, yeah, it hurt like bloody hell, didn't it.

This happened to me, also with a bad cold, when I flew back from Heathrow to Aberdeen one cold January day in 96.

Pain, pain and more pain, and blood out of my right ear.

Anyways, it healed up and there seems to be no damage. I've passed a hearing test since then, so chalk one up to the resilience of the human bod.

. .Pardon? What was that you said ?

, no pain " just a little deafness followed by an Annoying ringing,
