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've been dealing with on-and-off fevers for about a month now, along with mucus and a sore throat. Just last week, I noticed these yellow blister-like spots in my throat, about the size of half a penny, and my throat's pink color is changing to this yellowish white. I work around kids, so I'm always around a lot of germs. The doctor mentioned a respiratory infection last week but didn't run any tests and prescribed amoxicillin. It's been six days and things seem to be getting worse. Do you have any idea what this might be?

I'm a bit worried because I had my earwax removed by an ENT and they used a sharp tool. After that, they inserted this pipe-like instrument, and it made this really loud noise in my ear. It's been about 25 days now, and there's still some pain in my ear, but it's not super severe. I'm just concerned that maybe this pipe thing hurt my eardrum. So, if the pipe did hit my eardrum, would there have been immediate, intense pain? And what are the signs of having a hole in your eardrum?

That could be vacuum which you are saying about,do not worry it causes no damage,the pain that younare saying could be negligible forget about it,if it's becoming worse visit your doctor for evaluation.
