I'm really unsure about something since my surgery last year to remove a cholesteatoma from my middle ear. I've gotten the all clear from the disease, but I haven't had a follow-up hearing test yet. I'm curious if it's safe for me to use headphones or earphones now. Any advice on that?

Can you guide me on what I should consider or expect when dealing with nasal polyps? And is there anything specific that has worked well for others or is usually recommended? It's been affecting my day-to-day life and I'd really appreciate some advice.

Question

I'm experiencing a bit of hoarseness in my voice that I'm thinking might be from all the shouting I did recently. There's some swelling in my voice box, and I'm wondering if I should consider getting an endoscopy on my throat. What do you think? Is it necessary, or could it be something that'll just go away on its own?
