I had this procedure done on both ears prior to the age of 13 after 5 sets of ear tubes left holes in my eardrums that wouldn't heal. 20 years since the 2nd surgical repair on my left year and 1 in office "glue a patch on the eardrum, the hole in my left eardrum has returned. I'm planning to have the surgery again soon as I really want to recover some hearing in my left ear. Fortunately my right is still in good shape. This blog has both motivated and made me a bit more nervous. I somewhat remember the surgeries and recovery when I was younger - mainly remember missing out on tons of sports and swimming. I'm sure I'll experience some of the things you did as well. The patch after surgery looks VERY familiar! I was told that wouldn't be the same, but I think Dr's like to just say that to lower the "worries". Oh well, it's a badge of honor. :) Anyway, thanks for documenting this and sharing it with all of us. I hope after 2 years your hearing has returned to "normal". Take care... Scott Hey Richard,
