Five days ago I had otoplasty done. My right ear was bigger than my left ear, so I am assuming more work went into that ear. I can barely hear out of it. When i have nothing covering my ear, it feels and sounds as if cotton is stuffed all in it. My surgeon called an ear doctor and i see him in four days. I also have been taking Ibuprofen to help with the swelling. Anyone have a similar situation or can help me understand why I cannot hear that well still?
