Turbinate reduction and grommets for ETD
Hey. My first ever post on here. Wonder if anyone can relate to my experience. Last October I suffered a barotrauma on an airplane when my ears shut and to this day havnt popped. This lead to inflammation and pnd. Then in January discovered enlarged inferior turbinates. This Feb I underwent bilateral inferior turbinate reduction and bilateral grommets. Moving on I’m now 13 weeks post surgery and I’m feeling not much improved. Still lots of pnd. What’s bothering me the most is my voice now sounds distorted like I’m underwater. Echoey. Which I didn’t have before the surgery. My nose feels dry. Is this normal at 3 months?? My surgeon says everything looks good. Nose healing well 2 weeks post debridement. My Eustachian tubes are swollen shut and the pnd is not helping them. But it’s the sound in my own head that’s bothering me. Surely I should be healing by now?
