I've had two dental surgeries to remove wisdom teeth. My hearing (so far as I can tell... eh?) is fine. I only had three wisdom teeth.
Never heard that losing hearing was a problem for some. The first surgery for me (while in the Army), I got a "dry socket" problem in one of two lower gaps. That was painful, and I had to go back to get a fix. I took lots and lots of the 1000 mg ibuprofen--you know, the orange pills the size of a cork?
The second time, and out of the military, my doctor (God save his Mormon heart!) was incredible. I hardly ever felt anything ever after the whole episode. He had to cut into the side of my upper jaw to remove a fully impacted (and upside down) crown, without any roots. I had two prescriptions, one for xs-tylenol, the other for horse pill sized ibuprofen. Next day, after the anesthesia wore off, I took a few tylenol. And after that, no more meds.
That's my story...
