Taste problems after eardrum surgery

Hi There,
I have eardrum surgery as well (in 2006), i consider it FAILED. coz my hearing just getting worse and worse, I really hope i never did the procedure.
As for tasting food, i have no problem. but it seem my teeth no longer aligned like usual, the doctor told me, but AFTER the surgery, not BEFORE, if i was told beforehand I would never do the procedure.

One more thing, my left eye seem always halfclosed by itself without me noticing.

There is a nerve on or near the eardrum and it may have been damaged. I had to have tubes placed and the dr forgot to tell me my tongue would be numb for a while afterwards due to the medication she used to numb the ear canal and drum. Have you talked to the dr about it?

most folks describe it as a metallic taste… it will fade away for most.
