The ENT doctor I saw said that the procedure is not covered by any insurance. So my shitty high deductible insurance doesn't matter.

So then it's more a cosmetic thing or a "I just dont like it" thing than a medical intervention required situation

Imagine if it always felt like your ear was clogged and every time you popped it the clogged feeling would rush right back immediately, forever, 24/7.

Mine does the same thing. Has for 7 years now.

and that would be a medical issue then

are you seriously trying to imply because you've put up with it for 7 shitty years that everyone else should?

No, I just didn't know I wasn't the only one.

Whats the procedure youre trying to have done?

I have tubes in my ears for the same thing. I actually need to have them replaced, but due to extreme scarring on my eardrums, I have to be put under a general anesthetic.

It's the dilation with the balloon

It's a simple procedure but it's not covered, it's bullshit

My friends mom did the surgery/vacation thing the other year. Saved a few thousand and had a good time.

You might be restricted to not going on planes for a bit though
