Sad really as likely your tonsils could have stayed. Times were different then.
Sept 1960 when had them removed at Dr Patient and Hartmans clinic in Parkersburg wVA no change on hearing then Dr Sussmand continued there treatments of running water in ears and maybe they made it worse

@Dancmemomisme: well, don't take any more body parts out just to one up her but if you do the gall bladder trumps the gallstones and gives you bragging rights. Perish the thought

So the tonsils lost the battle and became a casualty of war, but the removal did accomplish what was needed. Thanks for the reply

Appreciate your answer on that as I had not heard of it weakening the rest of the immune system theory. I know my Mother and her siblings all had their's out and not one of them had a problem, they thought it preventive then. I still have mine.
