After radiation I had to get a tube in my left ear. I was already wearing hearing aides prior to the discovery of my cancer. My ent just checked a few weeks ago and said the tube is in the proper place. My hearing has gotten worse since the radiation. I now keep my current hearing aides almost up to the max they can go and still manage to bother people with my "what"?
Good luck to your sister and to the family.
