good info. my new ent thinks he can get the procedure covered but the balloon may be out of pocket for me. He suspects the problems in my right ear may be due to patulous (always open) et. not much to be done for it. tymp tube might help, might not or might make it worse. no fluid on that side. we will do a little extra testing on it in a couple of weeks. he thinks the dilation for the left might be a good fix.
