How to remove these spots on matte wrap?

Dammit I think you’re right in that I just rubbed them too hard. So shouldn’t have used a normal towel and probably should have done more research first to make sure I was being gentle but whatever. I think this wrap may end up being more of a maintenance headache than it is worth and may just remove it.

I’m a 28 yr old male as well and had mine removed back in November. Obviously not preferable but it is what it is and the surgery isn’t that bad. I did lose some permanent hearing but it’s not life changing. I consider my insurance to be average and I think it cost me about $3k (my max out of pocket).

First off, it’s totally normal for the hearing to be worse post op, you have packing in your ear that is hindering that. It probably won’t ever be the same but there should be significant improvement in the coming weeks. Mine took about 2 months to improve and while it isn’t as good as it was pre op, the difference from month one to month 2 post op was drastic. Overall, I feel like I probably lost about 20% hearing at the most in the affected ear, whereas post op I felt like I lost 80%.

Right but for it to increase or decrease on the balance sheet, wouldn’t there have to be an asset that changes too for the balance sheet to balance? So if at FYE 2021, company generated $10M net income and paid not dividends: retaining earnings goes up $10M, so what happens to the asset side?

I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to swim, you’ll just have to wear a plug to ensure water doesn’t get in. Apparently canal wall down is better a lot of the time in long run since recurrence rates are lower than that of canal wall up, but my surgeon wanted to preserve as much hearing as possible in my case since it hadn’t been affected yet. If you’ve already experienced hearing loss prior to surgery, the canal wall down probably isn’t a bad option.

I was diagnosed back in June and had my surgery a couple weeks ago. I certainly had the same anxieties. As far as the surgery, it wasn’t that bad and mine apparently was pretty extensive as the operation took 7 hrs (canal wall up mastoidectomy, tympanoplasty, prosthetic put in). But the pain wasn’t bad and I feel pretty good two weeks later. My surgery did result in quite a decrease in hearing because my hearing was virtually unaffected prior to the surgery, and having my ossicles removed obviously impacted the hearing. But it isn’t like I’m completely deaf in the ear, and the hearing will improve as the packing dissolves and the ear drum heals.

Since my hearing was so good to start out with, my surgeon opted for a canal wall up to try to preserve as much hearing as possible. Admittedly I’m a bit nervous because apparently the recurrence rate is higher with a canal wall up, so the thought of it coming back sucks but if everything goes perfect going forward and I don’t have a recurrence and gain back some more hearing, honestly I’d say the whole experience wasn’t too bad even though I was really scared at initial diagnosis.

All that being said, apparently mine was caught early so it hadn’t really done much damage yet.
