Diagnostic Tests And Medications: The diagnostic tests cost and medications may vary according to the patient's condition and differ from hospital to hospital.

Post-Procedure Cochlear Implant Surgery Care

After your cochlear implant surgery, here is some post-procedure care to keep in mind:

● To recover faster, get enough sleep and rest as much as possible. Patients take up to 3 to 6 weeks to recover completely.

● Take some walks every day, depending on your stamina and health. Start by little and gradually increase the duration each day. Walking increases blood flow and prevents conditions like constipation and pneumonia.

● Avoid exerting activities until 4-6 weeks like running, weight lifting, aerobic exercises, jogging, biking, or bicycle riding.

● Avoid bending and sudden head movements for the first 2-3 days after your surgery.

● After you remove your bandage, keep the treated area dry and clean. You can wash the area with slightly warm water daily and then dry it.

It sounds like you have a possible ear infection, which is common with flu. Green mucus suggests a bacterial infection. It's best to see an ENT specialist to get the right treatment. Do not delay, as ear infections can worsen.

I am 35 yrs old male and I have problem with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Is there any treatment for this problem

Male | 35

A routine brain MRI with attention to the internal auditory meatus should be requested in acute cases where no cause is detected and idiopathic origin is assumed. These individuals are usually started on oral corticosteroids with a prednisone dose of 1 mg/kg/day (max 60 mg/day) for seven days and then decreased during the following week.

Hearing aids, of which there are many sorts, are the basis of treatment in chronic situations. Even in mild or severe cases of presbycusis, hearing aids are beneficial to the majority of patients. [19] There is no way to restore former hearing thresholds, and due to psychosocial comorbidities, audiological rehabilitation support is especially necessary in these patients.

The most prevalent equipment for treating hearing loss are traditional behind-the-ear air conduction hearing aids.

Hearing aids with bilateral microphones and contralateral signal routing (BiCROS) are similar, but a microphone also helps the better hearing ear on the same side.

It is important to see a doctor right away for this lump near your ear, especially if you feel pain and your mouth is drooping. This lump might be a swollen lymph node or something different that needs attention. The doctor will help determine what is happening and suggest the best treatment for you.

Lump in left side of neck

Female | 20

This might happen if your lymph nodes there become swollen. These are small structures shaped like beans inside your body, which help fight off infection. The bump could be caused by something as simple as a cold or infection; however, sometimes it could mean something more serious. If it hasn’t gone away or is getting larger, see an ENT specialist right away.

From last few months sometimes my ears feel dry with transparent sticky thing and now from few days im noticing dry blood very lil quantity

Female | 19

These could be signs of swimmer's ear. This ear issue happens when water gets stuck inside the ear canal. The trapped water can make the ear feel dry, itchy, and irritated. You may even notice a liquid or bloody discharge coming from your ear. Don't worry, dealing with a swimmer's ear is simple. Keep your ears dry by using ear plugs or a swim cap when swimming. Avoid putting things like cotton swabs or fingers inside your ear canal. Use an ear cleaning solution made for sensitive ears. Gently rinse out the ear canal with the solution as directed. If problems continue after a few days, visit a doctor. An ENT specialist can examine your ear and prescribe treatment.

Male | 43

It looks like your left ear is infected. Ear pain and trouble sleeping might be the result of the infection you have. The drainage of the liquid in your sleep is an indication of the infection getting discharged. The ear is the most common site of infections and sometimes the yeast infectious ways matched can be compatible with some types of bacteria. Ensure that the ear is clean and dry. The right treatment should be gotten only through seeking specialized medical attention from an ENT specialist.

The cause of this can be a result of, for example, ear infections, loud noises, or simply getting older. For instance, some symptoms that one may experience involve difficulty following the conversation, asking others to repeat themselves, or increasing the volume of devices. You can go to an audiologist for a hearing test. If needed, an audiologist can suggest many products from wearable hearing aids to an implanted hearing device.

You mentioned a lump behind your ear causing pain. It might indicate an infection in lymph nodes or cyst formation. Redness, swelling, and tenderness can accompany lumps. Applying warm compresses provides relief. However, visiting an ENT specialist promptly remains crucial for accurate diagnosis and suitable treatment.

It is quite common to have ear symptoms such as blockage, sensitivity to noise, and tinnitus during pregnancy. These changes are caused by the additional blood flow and hormonal fluctuations that affect your ears. Besides, you may also notice that your hearing changes.

It's great that Setzine is helping you manage your symptoms, but for a more permanent solution, it's important to identify and avoid the triggers causing your nasal allergy. You might benefit from consulting an ENT specialist who can assess your condition, suggest allergy testing, and recommend appropriate treatments like immunotherapy or lifestyle changes.

If you have a sensation of fullness and muffled hearing along with a beeping sound, you may have a condition called tinnitus. A sensation of tinnitus may be due to some causes like ear infections, loud noises, or even stress. To this end, you should avoid exposure to loud sounds, manage stress, and consider seeking advice from an ENT doctor for further evaluation.

My brother had mumps problem in february. Second day he lost his hearing completely in left ear. With lots of noise in his ear. We consulted many doctors and had lengthy treatment for about 6 months. But zero result. Doctors declared that hearing will never come back. But we want the the tinnitus go away. It damages his life also. Please help

Male | 39

The feeling of noises in the ear, called tinnitus, can be very distressing. Tinnitus in such cases is usually nerve damage caused by the mumps infection. Sadly, in some cases, the hearing loss may not be reversible. To manage the symptoms, your brother can try listening to soothing music, using white noise machines, and avoiding loud noises. Counseling or therapy can also be helpful for the patients.
