I finished radiotherapy around 2 months ago and am really struggling with a blocked ear (think it is due to having no hairs in my ear), I’ve been to the doctors who have told me that there’s no wax in my ear (which is completely untrue as I have a camera and can see loads all over my eardrum!), I’ve tried to speak to my CNS for help and advice on wether I should pay to have microsuction, but was advised to wait for my 12 week follow up, which is three weeks away. I’ve tried sodium bicarbonate drops and although they did help, haven’t solved the issue. Besides the tinnitus and hearing loss, I think it is causing headaches and vertigo.
If anyone has any tips in the meantime I’d be very grateful

Thanks
Hi. Glue ear is really common post Tx
Could it be that? Maybe pay for a private audiologist who will look inside your ear but to be truthful I can’t imagine a GP lying to you.

No you can’t put photos up here.
I think GPs look at ears all the time.
Send an image to your CNS?

BTW RT has destroyed the hairs in the external canal of one of my ears too plus I have cochlear damage resulting in high end loss. Hearing aids fix that
