CT scan

[Chadders]

I have a CT scan coming up for damage within my ear drum. I’ve had poor hearing for years now and have gotten used to it. However I have since decided I want to do something about it but in order to move forward they will need to do a CT scan to provide a 3D image of the problem area  

Given the concerns raised around CT scans I’m now not sure if I want to go ahead. It’s particularly because they will be doing the scan around my head to get a good look in the ear canal. I had a CT scan on my leg last year after breaking it. I was fine with that but it’s just that this is around a sensitive area

Any thoughts?

What is the point? There is no cure for ear damage.

The CT scan can show the damage but then no one will be able to fix it.

Before you get the scan, ask the doctors what cures exist to fix the damage found in the scan.
