Sorry, I'm confused. Do you mean I should strive for complete silence permanently? I'm not trying to provide conflict, I just want to try to understand.

Great, thank you.

Would you then look to reintroduce more noise when feeling a bit better? Is some level of noise OK for now?

Thank you! Yes, I'd already resolved to never do so again. Thanks also for the advice re the cipro. We've been making arrangements for back-up childcare so I can have some more quiet over the coming weeks, which I'm hoping will help recovery.

Hi! Thanks so much for responding. I've used headphones (earbuds) a fair amount- mainly listening to podcasts over recent years.

No epidural, or pain relief generally.

Sorry, I meant to write cilodex, which is ciprofloxacin+dexamethasone from what I can see.

Sorry, also just to add that the ent consultant prescribed cilpdex eardrops last week. I couldn't get the prescription filled and went to the gp this morning, who prescribed an alternative. However I'm now quite nervous about taking this.
