Complications of Surgery, Hearing Posted: 07-14-07 01:53am
my mom thinks I had some damage to my ears
during my latest TMJ operations. she
notices I have hearing loss.
so, is this possibly?
if so, it wont progress, will it?
thanks!

Hi Posted: 07-14-07 03:13am
I have had 6 TMJ surgeries and noticed a
difference in my hearing after every one.
Gradually though it gets back to normal.
My last surgery was only a few weeks ago
(joint replacement) so still have slight
loss along with weird other noises on one
side, but don't worry it will come back.
Take Care

your hearing will come back. swelling puts
pressure on the eustation tube causing the
feeling that your ears are plugged or
decreasing hearing. as soon as the
swelling goes down and you have healed up
your hearing will get better. ive had
surgeries and my hearing stinks after each
one---as i heal it gets better.

ah, well my last surgery was well over a
year ago
I do have arthritis, so I suppose you're
right. I'm still uncertain if my hearing
will return to normal though.
my mom, she's a doctor lol, insisted that
my surgeries have caused hearing loss. I
researched this and yes, indeed, it is a
complication. today I told her she was
right all along

---even years to heal from
surgeries---give it time.
