Very dissatisfied with latest assessment. Consultant polite but very disengaged. Wanted to get rid of me ASAP on each occasion and gives minimal answers possible. Feel I have hardly been listened to during this whole process.
Initially wrong information given from GP which obviously didn't help.
Was diagnosed with eustachian tube malfunction which is what I believed was the problem. Grommets fitted but unfortunately has not resolved issue.
At last visit after grommets I could feel that my sinuses and eustachian tubes were not working properly. However consultant suddenly switches to saying it's a problem with bone in middle ear (incus) not moving and I'll be fitted with a hearing aid. I questioned this. Was told I could have operation to fix this but I may lose hearing completely.
I pressed again after saying about my thoughts on sinuses and eustachian tubes.
Consultant finally agreed I could have CT scan on sinuses.
Awaiting results on CT scan and have appointment with Audiology at Wycombe this week.
In conclusion I feel I have not really been listened to and been given minimal information during this whole process.
I'll be lodging formal complaint unless I get positive actions coming out of scan results and this week's appointment.
