After spending a whole winter, spring, and part of the summer with a blocked ear that was almost deaf, the tube I had inserted in August appears to be working. I had a hearing test yesterday and both ears are now receiving about equally. The ear with the tube still feels somewhat blocked but I knew my hearing had gradually improved in the last month or so. There was absolutely no improvement for at least a few weeks after the tube was inserted and that was terribly disappointing but I did begin to notice very gradual improvement.
Apparently my hearing, even in both ears, isn't perfect because of age but not bad and not needing a hearing aid. I will be quite satisfied with what I have now.
Of course I have another worry in the back of my mind and that's for what will happen the next time I get a bad cold and my ears block once again.
