ENT

We meet our new ENT today.  The Audiologist attempted a hearing test.  And while it wasn’t as extensive as Houston’s was, she got almost normal results.  So I was glad about that. She was successful with getting her tympanograms.  They showed one tube out and one tube in place.   The doctor took a peek and both tubes were in the ear canals.  She went ahead and took those out.  But that means that her one ear drum has a hole in it.  They’ll monitor that for now.  Excited about the hearing results! She said it’s because the ear is still open.
