Main Ear Operations

Ear surgery covers the hearing and balance system — delicate microsurgical work performed by ENT specialists:

Tympanoplasty — repair of a perforated eardrum with a graft; improves hearing and stops recurrent infections
Stapedectomy — treats otosclerosis by replacing the fixed stapes bone with a micro-prosthesis, restoring hearing
Mastoidectomy — clears chronic infection from the mastoid bone behind the ear
Cochlear and temporal bone surgery — advanced procedures for complex hearing conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my hearing improve after tympanoplasty?

In most cases, yes — repairing the eardrum typically improves hearing and stops recurrent discharge. Your realistic outcome is assessed beforehand with hearing tests.

How long does healing take?

The ear heals over several weeks. You will need to keep the ear dry and avoid pressure changes (flights, diving) until your surgeon clears you.

Can children have ear surgery?

Yes — procedures like tympanoplasty are commonly performed in children when needed, with timing decided case by case.
