Let's go tubin'

So.

I may need ear tubes.

*sigh*

I'm afraid to call the doctor, but I think that may be the case, and I'm afraid to deal with it. At the same time, I'd like to be able to hear again.

The basic procedure is that they cut a small hole in your ear drum, and drop a tube in, relieving pressure and allowing the buildup to clear. Procedure is 15 minutes long. The tubes stay 6 months to several years, from the reading. I'm not excited, but whatever makes it to where I can hear properly and balance properly would be GREAT. Not to mention the irritableness of the continuous pain.

Info about ear tubes found here.
