About Hearing Loss

Hearing loss is not a single procedure but a condition diagnosed and managed by an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist, or otolaryngologist. The ENT's role involves a comprehensive evaluation to determine the type (conductive, sensorineural, or mixed), degree, and cause of hearing impairment. This process typically includes a detailed medical history, a physical examination of the ears, and specialized audiological tests like pure-tone audiometry and tympanometry. Based on the diagnosis, the ENT will recommend a personalized management plan, which may range from medical treatments and hearing aids to surgical interventions such as cochlear implants or tympanoplasty, all aimed at improving communication and quality of life.

PATIENT REVIEW

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.
