I'm a bit confused and worried about the medicines my ENT doctor prescribed after finding out I'm allergic to house dust, cockroach allergen, and those dermatophagoid thingies. He gave me Zentel 400, Hetrazan 100, and some anti-allergy meds. Why would he prescribe these specific medicines for allergies? Are they supposed to help with these types of allergens?

Because those are the common allergens one will be exposed regularly,in order to stop the allergic reaction he gave you those medicines

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?

Have a follow up with your doctor and follow your doctors advice,ideally you can use your headphones no problem
