Ear wax removal after Stapedotomy

2022-04-25 18:45:39
I had stapedotomy in my right ear in March 2021. Hearing was improved immediately but after few months, I feel the same way as prior to stapedotomy. Feels like ear wax is accumulated. Worried whether it is just wax causing bad hearing or stapedotomy procedure was not successful. Please suggest.
