Several years later it is slightly better, but still bad enough that I have developed tinnitus and been told that I am on the borderline for needing a hearing aid. It is significantly damaging my ability to perform at work. It was obviously not caused by blood in the ears (and there was never any evidence of this). I have also still not regained much of the feeling in my cheeks and neck. I had pre-existing nerve damage in my body before the surgery. Could that be linked to it?
