My ENT informs me that the minor earaches that I have been having are a result of my Eustachian tubes being fried by Radiation. Has anyone else had this? How long for recovery?

Thanks

I am five years out and occasionally still have pain in my left Eustachian tube. It is especially affected during allergy seasons. I sometimes put a little Peroxide in the bottle cap and pour in my ear then clean the ear with a Q-tip. In a few days it goes away. My doc basically said the same thing. The radiation damaged the Eustachian tube. At least I can still hear though! smile


Nine years out. New normal with limitations, but surviving and living life to the fullest.
