Just keep taking it easy with your ear, and everything will be okay.

Like Richard, I've had a hole in my ear drum since I was a kid, and hence I've been wearing ear plugs whenever I shower, and, well, just coping with the hearing loss. What Adam wrote about having a third tympanoplasty scared me though. Is the graft really that fragile? How do you know if you've hurt your ear drum? I've been laughing and sneezing but I try to keep my mouth open when I do, to reduce the pressure to my ear. Thanks for your posts Richard! Helped me a lot. :) Hi Richard, and Adam,
