I am not a doctor, but I was with him when he had the surgery. I got the
pamphlet out where he had it done. It was chronic ear surgery that he had
done. The inner ear houses the mastoid bone. The mastoid cavity got an
infection or some kind of trauma to it.Without the surgery, it could have
kill him. There was infection in that and nothing would clear it up. So they
had to remove it.He doesn't have no hearing and very little balance. He
stays dizzy most of the time.It is a surgery i had never heard of until he
had to have it done.I never will forget how bad a shape he was in. He
couldn't even stand up without getting sick and throwing up. But anyway, he
still has vertigo and stays dizzy most of the time. Take care.
