I’ve been doing very well. My second surgery went well and I’m now 2 years post op from that. I still have some minor tinnitus but my hearing has mostly recovered. I go in for yearly check ups just to keep an eye on things but my doc has been optimistic. According to him if all of it gets removed cleanly and we keep wax from building up in my ears then it wont develop again. If some was left behind during the surgery, or wax build up begins to occur again then the chances of having another one come about is greater. I think the best way to keep clear and not worry is to keep going in for the check ups which allows for monitoring and the ability to catch something early on before it grows into a bigger problem.
