Planning to fly
Hello, I have a question regarding the chances of something occurring on a flight I am taking. When I was 2 years old I put a toy inside my ear and ran with it. I tripped and I fell on and landed on my side where the toy went through my ear and ruptured my ear drum. My ear drum had to be surgically rebuilt using fat tissue from my arm. I was told back then not to fly or lift weights over my head for it could happen again. I am now 29 years old and was wondering if it is now safe to fly or should I avoid flying my entire life. Also if it does pop again would I lose all hearing this time? In one ear or both ears? I suffered about 90 % hearing loss from this before.
