HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted September 19, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 That's awesome Jane! Glad to hear things are going well. Yes the "full" feeling varies for everyone. Mine was very painful for quite some time. sassychele02 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 19, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Kara is right. It varies for everyone. I didn't experience the full feeling in my ears but I did experience my outer ear feeling numb and some taste disturbance. Both improved over time and everything is back to completely normal. I do not recall how long it took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Thanks that's what I thought I've just been reading past forums of people talking about the healing process and how it varies for everyone.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
