A member asked:
Is ear surgery a common procedure to help hearing loss?

No: Honestly, most adults with hearing loss need hearing aids. However, an otolaryngologist (ear , nose and throat specialist) is the best person to diagnose the cause of your hearing loss and make this decision. Some types of hearing loss can be reversed with simple office procedures or medications. More details on ear surgery at http://www.Richmondent.Com/ear-nose-throat/ears-hearing.Php.

Certain kinds: If you have hearing loss on the basis of poor transmission of sound to the hearing nerve, surgery can be helpful. Repairing a perforated eardrum, removing fluid from the middle ear, improving the function of the middle ear bones or opening a blocked ear canal can all be accomplished with surgery and may help the hearing. Surgery is generally not useful to improve nerve hearing loss.
