Q: What can you not do after eardrum surgery?

For around 2 to 4 weeks, or until your doctor gives the all-clear, refrain from intense activities like bicycling, running, lifting weights, or aerobic exercise. Avoid leaning over and making rapid head movements for the first two or three days following surgery. You could feel lightheaded as a result of these behaviors.

Q: How long does it take to recover from eardrum surgery?

Recovery from a complete tympanoplasty procedure might take two to three months. Your doctor could use a vacuum to gently clean the ear canal at the first post-surgery appointment to examine the repaired eardrum. Until this packing dissolves, the hearing will likely be worse than before the operation.

Q: What are the risks of eardrum surgery?

Surgery for eardrum risks are: Tinnitus, a ringing or buzzing in the ear, frequently gets better with time but can occasionally become permanent. However, there are potential hazards, such as a wound infection, which can result in discomfort, bleeding, or fluid leakage. If you have these symptoms, visit the hospital or your doctor's office.

Q: What is the success rate of eardrum surgery?

Eardrum repairs are often quite successful. Tympanoplasty results in a successful recovery in more than 90% of patients. If your middle ear bones and your eardrum need to be repaired during surgery, the results might not be as good—as eardrum piercing.

Q: How do you sleep after tympanoplasty?

For the first week following surgery, it is advised to sleep with your head raised. In the middle ear cavity and behind the ear, this lessens edema. You can use two or three pillows while sleeping on the bed or put many pillows under the mattress.

Q: How do you wash your hair after ear surgery?

For one week, avoid washing your hair. To do this, use a Q-tip and a solution of half hydrogen peroxide and half water. After washing, apply Neosporin Ointment or the ointment your doctor has advised to the incision area. No drops of water should enter the ear until it has fully healed.

Q: Is tympanoplasty a major surgery?

The smallest of the procedures is this one. Adults get it done in the office, whereas kids do it under anesthetic. A biological tissue paper patch is applied over the hole and secured with a drop of blood or ointment after the hole's margins have been inflamed with a tool or mild acid.

Q: How long after tympanoplasty Can you hear?

After tympanoplasty, a full recovery may take two to three months to complete. Your doctor will do a thorough hearing test for at least 8 to 12 weeks after the surgery. The hearing will start as the packing material gradually dissolves to its total capacity.

Your stuffy nose and lump point to an infection. Viruses, and bacteria, get in your nose, leading to these symptoms. Pain or swelling could accompany it too. Stay hydrated, get some rest, and use saline spray - this might help clear things up. But if it sticks around, you may need to talk to an ENT specialist.

Female | 29

Motion sickness can strike when traveling makes you unsteady. Feeling dizzy and sick might mean you're experiencing it mildly. On buses, those sensations disrupt your balance. Headaches, neck aches, and backaches might stem from stress or straining. To recover, lie down somewhere quiet and dark.

A sore throat, stuffy ears, cough, and frequent nose blowing suggest you have a common cold or viral infection. These result from your body battling the virus. To improve, rest well, stay hydrated, and use over-the-counter meds for relief. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, visit an ENT specialist.

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.

My name is umar khan . I have problem in speaking diseability . I want for operation for my clear voice . if possible or speech therapy

Male | 24

You are having trouble talking clearly. This can happen due to various factors like vocal cord issues or muscle weakness. In place of surgical procedures, speech therapy should be the first step. It is important to conduct speech therapy involving exercises that can develop your speech. One of the primary methods is to try this gentler approach so that it becomes clear if it works before moving on to other solutions.

My son 12 + suffering from tonsils last ten days .... antibiotics also given to him but he is allergic with Amoxicillin, ...He treated from bl Kapoor, with pcm, attarax & avil, cepodem 200mg....He feel pain in ears because of tonsils what medicine should give.... please reply fast

Male | 12

I understand your concern about your son's adenotonsils and ear infection. The tonsils could be causing his ear pain since they are close by in the throat. To help with the pain, you can give him acetaminophen (PCM). Make sure he continues the prescribed medications, drinks plenty of fluids, gets enough rest, and eats soft, cool foods to soothe his throat. If his symptoms don’t improve or worsen, please see the doctor again for further tests.
