When I was younger I would also always get severe respiratory diseases, but not much anymore.
Answers:
The reason for the ear infections is because the adenoids are most likely blocking the Eustachian tubes. I had mine removed in 2000, and had tubes put in my ears to assist the draining. You probably don't have hearing loss but extra fluid buildup. I used to think I had hearing loss because I also felt like my ear were stuffed. When you tubes drain properly it will sound like a whole new world. Everything will be loud and you will actually be able to truly hear your own voice. When the swelling went down I was shocked at how loud everything sounded and how my own voice sounded.
