If you’re experiencing hearing loss due to structural problems of the inner or outer ear, SFENTA offers surgery to help repair the ears and restore hearing.
There are several surgical options designed to repair hearing loss. The type of surgery required will depend on the nature of your hearing loss and the area of the ears that need to be repaired.
There are two common types of surgery to repair hearing. One focuses on the middle ear, and the other on the eardrum.
A stapedectomy is a surgical procedure to repair the middle ear. This surgery is commonly used on those with otosclerosis, a medical condition that affects the bone in the middle ear called the “stapes”. During the surgery, a piece of the ear is removed and replaced by a prosthetic. The stapes help sound move through the ear, and it does not develop properly for those with otosclerosis. This prevents the transmission of sound and the vibrations that are essential for hearing.
A tympanoplasty is a surgery that can repair or replace the eardrum. A tympanoplasty may be required when the eardrum has been injured due to repeated infections, injury, or other reasons. A tissue graft is used to repair the damage or replace the eardrum entirely. The surgery is performed through the ear canal, and once completed, it can improve hearing ability.
Both of these surgeries are designed to replace or repair parts of the ear that affect hearing function. Those with hearing loss due to injuries or functional issues can see improvement in their abilities after surgery.
The restoration of your hearing is the primary benefit of the procedure. Increased or restored hearing can help you accomplish everyday tasks more efficiently and lead a more comfortable life. The surgery will allow you to listen and talk to friends with ease, enjoy television, and listen to music. Tympanoplasty can also help those with chronic ear infections reduce their frequency if the eardrum is replaced.
