Hey Forum Fans,

I'm researching having my ear operation to open up my ear canal. The condition is called Surfers Ear or Exostosis.

Any local experience of the operation. I believe the old approach is to cut behind the ear and peel it back to operate on with a dental drill on the over growth bone. This causes potential tinnitus and noise damage. A new method seems to be with 1mm chisels and operates from within the ear canal.

Experience or advice? Good surgeons? Costs?

I have used Doc pro plugs and ear plugs generally, and sick of them.

Cheers

Gonz

Last option for me would be do nothing,possibly better than further damage of surgery.
