Well, finally got my double ear infections cleared up after 3 weeks of
antibiotics and such.

Will go in next friday, the 18th, to have new ear tubes, made out of
titanium put in and they will also repair the ruptured ear drum so that
I can hear again out of that ear.

I can't believe they actually make titanium ear tubes!   Wow---do they
make everything out of titanium these days???

He wants to go this route as the last set of tubes that he placed in
september, were supposed to be long lasting ear tubes and they were both
out by the first of the year. He said my ears seem to reject every type
of material he uses and he is praying that the titanium tubes will last
longer than 3-4 months.  He really thought the last set would last me at
least a year!  Wrong!!!  

Problem is, once the tubes come out, I get repeated ear infections that
just don't clear up anymore with one round of antibiotics.  Even with
the stronger antibiotics, and not the last two times, I have gotten
ruptured ear drums which don't seem to want to close up on their own.  

Anyways, I am just shocked that they actually make titanium ear tubes.
I know they make titanium hip replacement parts, but wow, ear tubes?
What will they come up with next???
