Hi, it usually grow very very slowly, and you are already 72 years old, it appears to be very slowly growing, so if you use hearing aid for for hearing and observe the grouth every year it will be sufficient, after examination by your doctor. Surgery is rarely performed in advanced cases. Thank you.
