I had the endolymphatic sac shunt surgery four days ago. I have had constant noises in my ear ever since, including metallic clanging, sounds like a washing machine agitating, a jack-hammer, shrill tones, etc. Is this a normal part of recovery? Before the surgery, I had only an occasional shrill tone. (The surgery was for severe Meniere's Disease.)

very normal... for a month or so.
in fact, the list of "normal" things that happen after surgery is very long and even contradictory.

don't be suprised if you are dizzier than ever before. they tell me that this is normal too... until healing of the inner ear/operative site takes place... "a month or so"....

good luck

How was the operation? Are you still suffering or has it calmed down now. I am considering the same treatment and would appreciate any feedback.

I too am wondering if you have gotten any better. I'm thinking of having the same proceedure done.
