Random question folks.....Wondering if anyone had any problems using earphones? I was thinking that being so close to the jawline and the nerves and things it might be uncomfortable.
Any experiences welcome thanks xxx

I havent had surgery yet but I would think its ok.
People on this board had previously recommended various special earplugs, etc for those who had to fly home after surgery. I wouldnt imagine that headphones could be any more invasive than a big ol' earplug.

Yes, I started to listen to my Ipod a week after surgery.

We're too much of clean freaks nowadays- we need germs in order to have some resilience to them, not to clean madly so that
they become resilient.

I agree. However, the point I'm trying to make is that you are especially susceptible to infection coming out of surgery so I don't think it's wise to introduce bacteria so close to the site of the surgical incisions.
