Can surgery be done to fix deafness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cochlear implant: No surgery cures deafness. Release of pressure in the ear and control of infection is very important. Screening for ear tumors is very important. Some patients are good candidates for cochlear implants. This may provide some partial recovery of hearing.
