Anyone here have ear infection problems?

[Tied2thetracks]

In December I have infections to both ears and a busted right ear drum, as of yesterday I have the same condition. How many times can you blow an ear drum before you lose hearing?

I'm told if it happens again in the next 6 months i need to see a specialist and maybe get tubes in my ears.

POST LOUDLY!!

No problesm here. Sorry to hear about the issue. Any idea what's causing this whole mess?

Never had one bad enough to blow out my ear drum, but I get them somewhat frequently. I've been told it's something I'll deal with for the rest of my life, having to do with my lymph nodes not processing infections properly. All I can suggest is Ciphro ear drops (antibiotic/steroid), and prescription pain medicine :)

My wife tells me I didn't finish my antibiotics last time, don't really remember.
It might have ben hanging around, my hearing never really recovered.

This time my pills ar 2 a day instead of 4, I can handle that. Damnit 28 is too yourng for a hearing aid.

Sucks. Sorry to hear that. My eye site turned to s*** when I was 30.
And finish your fuggin Antibiotics next time (isn't that your wife's job, to make us less stupid:) ). People do that a lot, because they start feeling better.

I never finish my anti-biotics. It's just a bad habit of mine. I'll take them for like two days and stop.

I've had a history of ear infections for my entire life. At least two a year. Some get so bad that I can't tilt my head at a certain angle or else the pain is excrutiating.

Well it happened to me in both ears some time ago. I have some hearing loss but it is minimal. The key is to go to the doctor as soon as you have symptoms before it gets that badly infected.
