Treatments for Ear Issues & Disorders

Because there are so many different types of ear issues and disorders, treatments will greatly vary. Here are just a few treatment options:

Earwax removal: this simple treatment may be all that is needed to restore hearing and resolve other symptoms
Ear tubes: small tubes made of plastic or metal are placed into the eardrum to prevent fluid buildup in the middle ear and keep air flowing
Tympanoplasty: surgical method to repair a perforated eardrum where your own tissue is used to close the hole
Eardrum patch: a patch is applied over the hole in the eardrum to seal the hole
Hearing aids: there are many options available to improve your hearing
Septoplasty: surgery to treat a deviated (crooked) septum, the bone and cartilage that runs between your nostrils
Turbinate surgery: to treat inflamed nasal turbinates, 3 bony structures in your nose that are covered in tissue
Sinus surgery: to treat blockages in the sinuses using an endoscope to view the area and surgical instruments to remove blockages
Balloon sinuplasty: to treat chronic sinusitis by inserting a small, flexible balloon catheter into the inflamed sinus area, inflating the balloon to open the sinuses and flushing out mucus; the sinuses remain open after the balloon is removed
