anyone heard of the Dr. at Metroploitan Neuro Ear group????

I was trying to do some digging on google about what PLFs are and what recovery times can be, and am lucky to have found this site! It seems to be a great spot to connect with others who are experiencing similar symptoms.

I had a tympano mastoidectomy in March to remove a cholesteatoma in my inner ear. Part of the procedure was a bit impromptu as the cholesteatoma had grown so big, it eroded the membrane over oval window. So my ENT patched up the oval window while she was in there.

During the recovery, about 4 weeks post-op, ringing in my ear developed and has been going on for nearly a month's time. My doctor suggested a regiment of bed rest and thought that perhaps it may be the result of a PLF and the graft not holding or being torn.

After reading earlier posts on this thread, my symptoms do not appear in line with the predominant symptoms others are experiencing. The biggie for me has been the constant loud ringing and dealing with the inactivity and everything else that goes along with withdrawing from so much, so suddenly. Are any folks experiencing such constant ringing along with PLF symptoms?

Hello Ringing247. I have a constant sound of ringing more so like the older model TV sound when cutting on and off. Very weird. To overpower it or better yet to tune it out, I have to have a fan on or radio. It's horrible when I am in a quiet environment. I have yet to find out how why this is happening.Anyways, I totally can relate.
