Q: Cholesteatoma In a 9 Year Old

My son has had 4 mastoidectomies with tympanoplasty because of recurring cholesteatoma.
Is it time for a 'canal wall down' procedure?

Another (minor) question - how long before he can start playing the trumpet again after surgery? (his surgeon seems to have no idea..)
