I have one ear especially that is chronically plugged up and gets infected. I have a great deal of scarring in that ear from so many infections. I also have pretty bad sinus stuff which only adds to the ear problems. My best solution has been to go the ear tube route. I have had ear tubes placed probably 5 times now, and each time it does the trick and keeps me from infections usually for several years. When the infections start happening on a somewhat regular basis again, then I know it is time for new tubes to be placed. I just had a set of tubes put in this past summer, and am doing great. The ENT doc told me with my ears the way they are, I would probably always have the need for the ear tubes as I get so much fluid build up in my ears and then the infections. The nice thing about the tubes, is that it is a relatively easy procedure that takes only about 20 minutes to get done and then you go home and can pretty much instanly hear better and such. Good luck to your boyfriend, sure hope he can find a workable solution to his problems!!!
