Well it’s funny you should reply at this time, because yesterday after a 6 week wait, I got to see an ENT specialist, who said before looking it was going to be one of two things, either I had a hole, or more likely a very thin and translucent ear drum similar in look and thickness to GladWrap, something that can happen after grommets have been removed, which I’d had about 10 years ago.
It was the latter, and that it is not uncommon, and I had nothing to worry about. Even better, because it took him all of sixty seconds to determine this, I didn’t get billed!!! I expected about $200, so I was a happy chap for two reasons heading out their door.
