I found another public link to the waiver guide (see my signature). Check out the section titled "Eustachian Tube Dysfunction and Otitis Media." You would likely have gotten a waiver (if your condition was serious enough and caught at the time of your IFC and you had the procedure earliy on and the procedure fixed the condition). But getting any procedure now would DNIF for several months, and then the waiver would later be submitted and might take around 45 days on it's own. You're best bet is to try to resolve these acute issues, and later be evaluated for possible recurrent/chronic ear conditions.
