    Hey everybody, I am 21 years old and this is my story. I had a lot of ear infections as a child and i got grommets on 3 separate occassions. The last time i got them in i was 7 years old. The grommet in my right ear fell out when i was 17(i actually caught it). However, the grommet in my left ear is still there.
    I suffered from ear infections every 4 weeks for the last 2 years. It has had such an impact on my life. I am just finished college but i can't go working for the summer because of this grommet. I use to do a lot of sport but i can't anymore.
    The reason why this happened is that it was thought i was suffering from post viral stress syndrome due to constant tiredness. I was finally got referred to an ent specialist. It took 2 months to wait for the appointment. There i learned that the grommet in my left ear needs to be removed. I was told this at the end of april 2012 and i won't get it removed until july 2012.
    It is super frustrating. If anyone can offer any advise in this situation. Is there an ent specialist i can see abroad which will perform the procedure in a more swift manner?????????????????????????????? I need to get this grommet removed a.s.a.p I need to get my life back.
    p.s. I do have medical insurance
