Self imposed medical grounding question
Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2012 1:17 pm
I have just experienced one of the worst bouts of flu ever, but came out of it with an ear infection which resulted in 2 burst ear drums.
I can hear about 60%, my balance is fine, and nothing hurts, but my concern is pressure on my ears at altitude. When would it be safe for me to venture the skies again? Will the headphones not keep the pressure down enough?
I have had burst eardrums due to ear infections before, and it normally comes right after a period of around 2 to 3 weeks, but to wait that long....eish, I haven't flown in a loooong time .
Any advice?
