Use of earphones after a Cholesteatoma
I had an operation last year (20/12/16) to remove a cholesteatoma from my middle ear canal, after a year I'm stilll unsure as to whether it is safe enough for me to use headphones/earphones. I've been given the all clear from the disease, but am yet to have a follow up hearing test.
