July 2020 I started having problems with my ears, severe pain, headaches, problems hearing people altogether, even with keeping my ears cleaned it just seemed to get worse. In March 2021, I went to Vanderbuilt Clinical in Tennessee while on vacation, and found out that both ears were suffering severe damage due to the natural tubes bursting and leaking a grey fluid down my throat. I took a hearing test in April 2021, and failed in my right ear. Last night, September 12th, 2021, I went to the emergency room because I was once again having extreme vertigo, pain, nausea, and I couldn't even stay at work.
My left ear has completely healed with the help of medications, but my right ear is to the point of needing surgery or there will be no hearing left at all. I am 18 years old, living by myself, and can't support myself AND have surgery.
