7 years back I had surgery in my left ear due to pus discharge, doctor has performed Mastoiditis surgery and it was fine for 6 years . From last month I'm feeling kind of wetness in the same ear and pus started discharging again. Went to a ENT doc, he said it's Chronic Mastoiditis and suggested X-ray and X ray report said :
X-RAY MASTOIDS ( BOTH SIDE ) BILATERAL
Mild sclerosis of left mastoid cells.
Otherwise mastoid air cells on both side are pneumatized. No obvious bone destruction.
Dural and Sinus plates are intact.
I have hear loss in both ears, left ear hearing is better, but right ear hearing is worse. I was planning to get my right ear surgery for better hearing. But left rear disease seems to be prominent. If I get my left ear surgery done for Chronic mastoiditis, how much would be the recovery time ? Will the hearing gets improved more or will it get worse ? Post the left ear recovery I'm planning for right ear surgery. Need suggestions. Thank you.

Please share Xray report and Hearing test report to understand the details. Also share previous surgery details if any.
Sometimes CT scan of the ear ( temporal bone) may also help to understand it better.
