Airpods and squelching
I had tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy about 4.5 months ago. My doctor recently told me that the ear has completely healed, but I still occasionally experience a squelching/squishy/popping sensation, particularly when I have a cold or during swallowing.
My doctor advised me to avoid AirPods, buds type for lifetime. However, I would like to clarify whether I need to avoid AirPods permanently or for the rest of my life or it is a general long term advise?
Could you please advise whether occasional squelching at 4.5 months, especially during a cold, is expected during recovery?
