Hi my name is Sarah I am a little person with Achondroplasia from a newborn I have struggled with severe double ear infections at only 6 months old I had my first surgery to fix it but as I got a little older the ear infections came back and got worse and led to having to more surgery where the doctors put tubes in my ear to help drain the fluids as time went by my ears got a little better but was only short lasted until the pain and infections started coming back and getting worse as an adult I have struggled severely with my ears I have been in and out of emergency room for the past 2 years trying to get the proper care and have just recently found out that I need to have Tympanoplasty surgery to fix it and hopefully not have ear infections ever again I have holes in both my eardrums that never healed when I was a child and is causing extreme pain in my ears I can’t hear out of my right ear and my balance has been very bad it’s hard to sleep and do normal activities I am on medication now for a double ear infection I currently have now unfortunately I am disabled and struggling financially and can’t work due to several back surgerys and I’m currently in the process of getting on SSI but it has been a process. I come here today and ask for help anything is appreciated thank you I appreciate anything thank you so much
