Hi guys,
I have a this ear disease called otosclerosis - the little bones doing the sound transmission from the drum to the inner ear get calcified and move less and less easily (at least, that's my understanding). I now have to wear hearing aids, which somehow spoils my dashing looks!
I have two questions. One is, is there any info about the influence of diving on the disease? Two, a form of surgery is possible where the calcified bones are replaced by a piece of teflon (like in non coating pans). Is it still possible to dive after that?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hubert
