Had 2 two different stapes prostheses in the past 5 years (in same ear).
Monday, I went to my ear surgeon because I cannot go up in elevation with out severe pain. He cut a small hole in my ear drum and inserted a pediatric sized tube in. He did warn me that my hearing might decline. Yikes it is worse than I expected... my hearing was already bad on that side, but now I am having a very diffiucult time finding the source of noises... never mind trying to talk to someone... anyone had a tube put in .... experience loss of hearing from it?? and did your hearing get better after the tube was in for awhile?

I had tubes in both ears many years ago when I was 4, put in so the fluid could drain from my middle ears. I don't believe the tubes themselves appreciably damaged my hearing; despite my tinnitis my hearing is quite good.
Whether or not I was paying attention is a different matter though.
