I've been diagnosed with hearing loss and saw three ENT doctors two said it's conductive hearing loss from a deviated septum and recommended nose surgery, while the third thinks it could be otosclerosis and suggested a stapedectomy. I'm really confused about which diagnosis is right and what surgery I should consider. How do I figure out the best course of action here?

I'm hearing a lot of talk online about using urine to cure ear infections. Apparently, some people think it's the best or even the only way to fix an earache. But I'm worried that it might cause more issues, like infection, since urine is human waste and all. Can you clarify if this is safe or just a myth?

no never use it again it could cause serious infections

I've been dealing with otitis media for about a week now and have been taking Augmentin 625 Duo and Crocin for it. There was this wheatish discharge from my ear, then some watery stuff came out, and that made the fullness in my ear go away for a bit. But now, after a week, I'm feeling that fullness again in the same ear. I'm still on Augmentin and doing some steam inhalation. So, I'm wondering how often should I be doing the steam inhalation thing and how long should each session be? Also, how long does it usually take to completely recover from otitis media? And do you have any tips on how I can prevent it from coming back?

you have to follow up with ent doctor
