Need advice from best ENT doctor.
Whistling sound in the operated ear is common and normal in immediate post operative period. Clicking sound while yawning n swallowing is mostly due to TM joint not related to this condition most probably. vertigo is a known complication after stapedotomy, probable cause can be labyrinthitis, due to a pressure change in the middle ear, exposure to loud sounds or improper size of the piston. Usually its short lasting and improves with medications like vertin and stametil after some time. Piston size varies from patient to the patient it can range from 3.75 to 5mm. The required size of the piston is measured in every patient at the time of surgery and then the piston is resized & placed. In rare cases where the size of the piston is inappropriate, patient experiences vertigo in the postoperative period which does not respond to medications in those cases the piston removal is required. CT findings are normal. advice: continue antivertigo medications. *follow up with ENT if vertigo doesnt respond.
