Open Question: Are there any alternatives to hearing aids and can they be just temporary?15 April 2010, 9:39 amWhen my sister was around 7 or 8 years old she had an ear operation I believe it was Myringotomy (not really sure though) to place a tube in her ear. After that I guess it did not work before four years later she required an ear operation again to fix the lingering issue with her ear. Even after that now(2 years later) she has been told that her hearing is kind of bad. They gave her the option of hearing aids or one more operation, my parents and sister decided they want to do an operation on one of the ears (the one that is a bit worse) and a use a hearing aid on the other one. Thing is when she had the operation two years ago she had the flu and was thinking that had something to do with it? The doctors say that something I forget what just keeps expanding which is what makes it so difficult to find out why its happening. I am just worried about what other kids might say behind her back at school and what not, because lets face it kids can be cruel. I don't want her to go through that kind of hardships. Is there reason for hope that this time if she goes in without a flue, that the operation will be a success and her ear can back to a normal level, and hearing aids not be a requirement? I just want to get some opinions on this.
