Otology is a specialized field within otolaryngology that focuses on diagnosing and treating ear-related conditions. From common issues like ear infections and hearing loss to complex disorders such as Meniere's disease and cholesteatoma, otologists are dedicated to preserving and restoring hearing health. Modern advancements in medical technology, such as cochlear implants and advanced hearing aids, offer new hope for those with hearing impairments. Regular check-ups with an otologist can help detect and address ear problems early, ensuring better outcomes and a higher quality of life.

Our Procedure

1

Tympanoplasty

Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure to repair a perforated eardrum, often caused by infection, injury, or chronic ear conditions. Our skilled otologists perform this delicate surgery to restore hearing and prevent future infections.
2

Mastoidectomy

For patients with chronic mastoiditis or cholesteatoma, a mastoidectomy may be necessary to remove infected or abnormal tissue from the mastoid bone behind the ear. This procedure helps to prevent the spread of infection and preserve hearing.
3

Stapedectomy

Stapedectomy is a microsurgical procedure to treat otosclerosis, a condition that causes hearing loss due to abnormal bone growth in the middle ear. This surgery replaces the affected stapes bone with a prosthesis, restoring hearing.
4

Ossiculoplasty

Ossiculoplasty is a surgical procedure to repair or replace the tiny bones in the middle ear that transmit sound. This surgery helps improve hearing in patients with damaged ossicles due to trauma or chronic infection.
5

Balance Disorder Evaluation and Treatment

Vertigo and other balance disorders can significantly affect your quality of life. Our otology services include specialized tests and treatments to diagnose and manage conditions like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and Meniere's disease.
6

Cochlear Implant Surgery

Cochlear implants are a groundbreaking solution for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. Our experienced otologists perform cochlear implant surgery, providing patients with the ability to perceive sound and improve communication.

Signs and Symptoms

Hearing Loss

Hearing loss can occur gradually or suddenly, making it difficult to understand conversations or requiring increased volume on devices. It may affect one or both ears, indicating underlying issues that need attention.

Ear Pain or Discomfort

Persistent ear pain, pressure, or discomfort can be a sign of infections, earwax buildup, or other conditions. This may worsen with movements like chewing or lying down and should be evaluated by a specialist.

Dizziness or Vertigo

Dizziness or vertigo involves a sensation of spinning or unsteadiness, often linked to inner ear problems like BPPV or Meniere's disease. It may come with nausea or balance issues, requiring specialized treatment.

Ear Discharge

Any fluid, pus, or blood discharge from the ear may indicate an infection, a ruptured eardrum, or other serious conditions. Immediate medical attention is often necessary to address the underlying cause.

Ear Bleed

Ear Bleed Bleeding from the ear can result from trauma, a ruptured eardrum, or an ear infection. It may be accompanied by pain, hearing loss or dizziness and requires immediate medical evaluation to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

Tinnitus

Tinnitus is characterized by a persistent or intermittent ringing, buzzing, or hissing sound in the ears. It can result from exposure to loud noises, ear infections or underlying hearing loss. Persistent tinnitus should be evaluated by a specialist to identify and address the underlying cause.
