Ear Surgery Recovery: When Can Normal Hearing and Activities Resume?
4 months ago
After ear surgery, how long does it usually take for patients to hear normally again? Can someone start swimming, traveling, or doing daily activities immediately, or is there a strict recovery timeline?

Hearing improvement after ear surgery often begins within a few weeks, but full recovery can take several months as tissues heal and the eardrum strengthens. Daily activities like walking and light work can resume quickly, but swimming, diving, or exposure to dusty or noisy environments should be avoided until your ENT Doctor confirms healing. Travel is usually safe if precautions are taken, but flying soon after surgery may be restricted. Patience is important, and following post-operative instructions ensures safe and steady recovery.
