I went for initial consultation with Dr Koay Cheng Eng due to a blocked ear. He recommended I do an audio test which showed that my hearing was perfect. During the second consultation, he mentioned that I had deviated septum which was causing the blockage in my ear and suggested to do a minor surgery. More than a week after the surgery, I developed tinnitus in one of my ears. I woke up in the middle of the nights due to the ringing in my ear and couldn’t stop crying. The ringing lasts for 24 hours and I am unable to sleep well every night. I immediately went to see Dr Koay, who was unable to explain the reason for the tinnitus and couldn’t help me. I asked him why I had this ringing in my ear which was worse than a blocked ear. He said that this ringing would follow me forever and asked me to accept it. So I have been crying everyday as I cannot accept this condition and even gave up my job. I spent a lot of time and money to see other specialist doctors. They said that this was a nerve problem due to the operation. When considering to do an operation, please seek the opinion of few doctors first. I regret to do the surgery, but I cannot change this decision anymore.
