I'm so sorry. It's so hard to have T and H with children around.

You will want to make sure that you don't hurt your ears during this period of vulnerability as your body is healing. You will want to avoid taking ototoxic drugs, avoid microsuction or syringing (performed when you need to clean wax out of your ears; a manual tool should be used), and not let your dental hygienist use an ultrasonic scaling tool on you (a manual tool should be used).

@Bill Bauer Thank you for the information! I have seen many of your posts and have found them to be very helpful. On top of my ear problems, I’m also half way through treatment with braces, sigh. At my appointment yesterday I refused any elastics and adjustments because I didn’t want to worsen my condition. Any suggestions?

Thank you, @Thuan, it has been awful. All I want is to get back to being the mom I used to be.

What was the cause of your T?

Are those adjustments being done manually? Ultrasonic tools aren't safe, but perhaps manual tools are ok?
