Grommet in right ear - 27 year old male

2017-05-30 17:34:44
I had a grommet fitted last year in my right ear for eustachian tube dysfunction. I have started going to the gym again, and am concerned that lifting weights and straining while lifting could damage or dislodge the grommet? Is weight lifting a problem?
