Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Noted your history of the middle ears showing negative pressures and A type curves in site of normal pure tone audiometry.

I would advise yo the following:
First of all consult an ENT Surgeon practicing otology.
He shall do ENT endoscopy and see the reasons for this appearance and it may be be possibly just retracted and fixed tympanic membranes.

The treatment will be as per the cause.
Most of the diseases have become treatable and curable and hence do not worry about the future till the full diagnosis and treatment are conducted.
