I've been struggling with total hearing loss in one ear and hearing aids don't seem to work for me. Can you tell me more about cochlear implant surgery - like how it works, if I'd be a good candidate, and what the recovery process looks like? I'm really curious but also a bit nervous about the whole procedure.

View allI've been dealing with red bumps on the back of my throat and tongue for a week now. They're itchy but not really painful. It's winter and everyone's got a cold at work, so I ended up with a mild cold too, and a couple of nights of low fever. I've also been experiencing loose stools. This happened once before, about 8 months ago, when I caught a cold. Should I be worried about the red bumps coming back? What could be causing this, and are there any remedies I should try?

I'm having this weird issue where my ears make sounds after I sneeze. I've already finished my cold meds, but my nose is still blocked, especially in the mornings. Plus, I have this minor cough that comes and goes. What should I do?
your symptoms seem to be consistent with residual effects from a cold, like nasal congestion and Eustachian tube dysfunction, but if they persist or worsen, its important to seek further medical advice. In the meantime, using saline sprays, staying hydrated, and addressing the congestion with decongestants or steam inhalation should help improve your symptoms.

I've had this hearing issue for 10-12 years and seen many doctors without a clear solution. Recently, an audiometry test showed my right ear is fine but the left ear doesn't pick up any beeps at any frequency. The doctor said there's no treatment except a hearing aid and ruled out surgery unless it's a bone or tumor issue. They mentioned one surgery option but said it's not guaranteed since it might be a nerve problem. Is there really no way to fix this 100% or am I stuck with a hearing aid for life?
