Who is this surgery for?

- Needing to turn up the volume on the television or radio excessively.

How to prepare
- Medical History Review: Be prepared to discuss your full medical history, current medications, and family history of hearing loss.
- Symptom Diary: Note down specific situations where hearing is difficult and any associated symptoms like tinnitus or dizziness.
- Ear Examination: The ENT will use an otoscope to visually examine the ear canal and eardrum.
- Avoid Loud Noise: Refrain from exposure to very loud noises for at least 16 hours before a hearing test for accurate results.
- Remove Obstructions: Do not insert anything into the ears before the appointment; the doctor will safely remove any wax if needed.
Risks & possible complications
- Diagnostic Procedures: Risks are minimal but can include slight discomfort during ear examination or hearing tests.
- Medical Treatments: Potential side effects from medications, such as allergies or gastrointestinal upset.
- Surgical Interventions (if required): Risks include infection, bleeding, changes in taste, dizziness, facial nerve injury, or failure to improve hearing.
- Hearing Aid/Cochlear Implant: Device malfunction, skin irritation, or, rarely, infection at the implant site.
- General: In rare cases, diagnostic tests like an MRI (if ordered) carry their own standard risks.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Post-Diagnosis: For non-surgical management (e.g., hearing aids), recovery involves a fitting and adjustment period to get accustomed to amplified sounds.
- Post-Surgery: If surgery is performed, avoid blowing the nose, getting the ear wet, and strenuous activity as advised. Pain medication may be prescribed.
- Follow-up Appointments: Critical for monitoring progress, adjusting hearing aids, or checking surgical site healing.
- Aural Rehabilitation: May involve auditory training or speech-reading therapy to maximize the benefit from hearing devices.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Implementing communication strategies and using assistive listening devices in daily life.

I was a total wreck before...
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Muthusamy just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my jumbled-up worries, did a quick check, and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. Walked out feeling silly for being so nervous, but mostly just relieved.
