Hearing Issues

[drz]

I was just thinking. For years before I was diagnosed, I had suffered many problems with my ears. Constant blockages and infections. I remember reading that this disease can take years quietly smouldering before it lets rip and a diagnosis is made.
Pre-diagnosis, I wonder how many of us had such issues?

I had ear infections from an early age and several resultant ear surgeries and loss of my middle ear. I also had several sinus infections years before Wegs. My Weg expert at Mayo said this history probably predisposed me to getting Wegs later on.
