I realize I am opening myself up for flaming, but to those of you that are interested, give this a try.

It's probably a very good decision that you made by not allowing the doctors to place tubes into the ears (if I recall correctly, the procedure requires the tearing of the eardrum to facilitate the small stents that allow air passage). I am neither a doctor, nor a nurse, but I value the sense of hearing very, very much. I don't know how adversely hearing will be affected by tearing up one of the most delicate, balanced membranes in the human body.

I have done some research on high-end earphones and microphones. When the membranes in them are slightly scratched, scarred or damaged, their performance degrades exponentially.

The most basic, helpful thing, above and beyond practicing good hygiene, that any adult could do, would be to start on Vitamin D and NAC (N-acetyl cysteine). Not very expensive, widely available, next to no side effects if intake is not excessive. If there are adverse interactions with prescription meds, I’m unaware of them.

Thanks for posting it. I’m very interested.

no flaming here from me........a quick question: What are doing about maintaining some degree of humidity in your home or child’s bedroom? Do you have a vaporizer? Ears like moisture,too, and AZ is a bit dry... just a thought....

What's the point in a good flame if your ready for it?
