Now I know this isn't directly realted to "hearing" although I think this is the most related forum to ear problems.
I'm a 16 year old girl, and ever since the age of 6months I have had re-accurent glue ear, I've had several (over 40) sets of PE tubes. I won't grow out of them I've been told, although.. in my right ear I have a permentant perferation which is acting like a tube. My ear is infected and I'm using eardrops, which, quite frankly, is torture. The eardrops are making my ear so painfull, and I need these morning and night, for two weeks. I'm one that can handle pain with no tears, but this just makes my cry like a child.
I'm not sure why the infection has set in.. My ENT specialist said I may have perhaps got a droplet of water in my ear which has bought on the infection.
After 16 years of ear problems the whole thing is getting very tiresome and old. I just want normal ears, and, as soon as the tubes are out, infection and glue sets in. So I just don't know what do to anymore, either way I go with my ears results in pain, discomfort and the like. What do you guys out there suggest? :confused:
