A member asked:
Is it possible to treat a scarred eardrum? i apparently have conductive loss. what else could be causing conductive loss, and how can it be treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an ENT: Scarring of the eardrum (myringosclerosis) is common in people who have had ear infections or surgery and rarely causes hearing loss by itself. Conductive hearing loss occurs for many reasons, most of which can be fixed. You should consult with an ENT specialist to get a better idea of what can be done to help you.
