Causes of Sudden Voice Loss

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.

When you lose your voice without any clear reason, it's called laryngitis. Your vocal cords swell up, making you hoarse or quiet. This happens due to loud talking, singing, or catching a cold. To recover quickly, avoid talking much, sip warm drinks often, and inhale steam. Within a week, your voice should return to normal.

I am 30 years old, I am facing nose dryness in summer season and also lesion, blockage, soreness in the morning. What can be the cause and what can be done to fix it?

Male | 30

You might have allergic rhinitis. That's a fancy phrase for nose allergies. Your body reacts to stuff like pollen, pet hair, and dust mites. To ease symptoms, use a room humidifier for moisture. Drink lots of water too. Saline nose sprays can relieve dryness. If home remedies don't work, see an allergy doctor. They'll help find the cause and treatment for you.

You’ve had a rough time with your left ear. If the operations didn’t fully work and now your hearing is not as good, it could be due to damage or complications from the surgeries. I recommend seeing an ENT specialist for a detailed evaluation and possible solutions to improve your hearing.

You might have some ear pain and swelling. When your ear aches and swells, it could be an ear infection. Ear infections can occur when tiny organisms like bacteria and viruses penetrate the ear. Go to an ENT specialist and they will prescribe you medication to treat the infection and improve your health.

Male | 55

A buildup behind your eardrum might cause the noise. Your ear and jaw ache may relate to this otitis media (middle ear infection). Antibiotics aid, but seeing an ENT specialist for assessment and care is wise. They'll determine if fluid accumulates, resulting in the symptoms you describe.

Mere Kan band hai mujhe awaaz nahin a Rahi

पुरुष | 22

You seem to have a hearing problem caused by the sensation of blockage in the ears. This is the result of earwax that has built up and caused the ear canal to be blocked. Don't use cotton swabs that may push the wax deeper in. Rather, opt for eardrops that can dissolve the wax and allow it to come out naturally. If the issue endures, get an ENT specialist to look at it.

My left ear has been crackling for a few months now and i got told by a nurse it was blocked and i got my ear syringed two days ago and i was hoping that would stop my ear crackling but it's still crackling after two days since i got my ear syringed is that normal?

Male | 37

Though it's a good thing you got your ear syringed, the ear still crackles which is totally normal. Occasionally, the sensation will last a little while after the procedure. Ear crackling could be the result of the presence of fluid in the middle ear or what is called Eustachian tube dysfunction. Sometimes, you can make yawning or chewing gum movements to relieve the discomfort. If it doesn't get better, see your ENT doctor for more advice.

Very often the bloody nose is caused by some things i.e. dry air, allergies, infections, and high blood pressure.

I've been experiencing sinus problems, such as congestion, pressure, and possibly sinus infections. What could be the underlying cause, and what are my treatment options?

Female | 26

You could have sinus issues. When your sinuses are blocked or inflamed, you may end up with congestion, pressure, and even infections. The most common reasons are allergies, infections, or structural problems in your sinuses. Treatment methods can encompass nasal decongestants, saline rinses, steam inhalation, or antibiotics if there is an infection. Besides, you can also replenish the fluids in your body and use a humidifier for symptom relief. If your symptoms don't go away, you should see an ENT doctor for a proper diagnosis and a customized treatment plan.

I went to barber shop yesterday . While cutting my ear hair by a hair trimmer there was a cut and blood came . Am I at risk of hiv

Male | 38

You can relax, getting a little scratch on your hand from a trimmer at the hairdresser's doesn't make you prone to falling ill with HIV. HIV doesn't transfer itself through minor bruises, though. Keep it dry and worry about any visible symptoms that could manifest, e.g., redness, swelling, or pain. In case it does not improve or if you feel concerned, you can also make an appointment with a doctor s you can get a peace of mind.

I am a 20 year old male, last wednesday night I suddenly lost hearing in my left ear. I was diagnosed at an urgent care with OME, but I am concerned as my left ear is 100% deaf and that is not usually a symptom of OME

Male | 20

OME stands for Otitis Media with Effusion. It causes the middle ear to become filled with fluids. It usually follows a cold, and in most cases, does not result in complete deafness. If the hearing loss is rapid and strong, it can be something else. You need to consult an ENT specialist for more tests.

Male | 30

The symptoms that you mentioned such as the pressure in your forehead, stiff neck, and confusion could be due to severe sinusitis and polyps on the left nostril. The presence of the discharge of yellow and white, as well as the nasal congestion, is a clear indication of a sinus problem. Medication such as sinus sprays, antibiotics, or surgery mainly to clear the polyps is used. You had better consult an ENT specialist who will provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend the proper treatment for you.

I woke up this morning with a swollen nose on one side of my nose, I think it might be an allergic reaction, because I inhaled food that someone was cooking it was very strong and I started sneezing and bringing out mucus and woke up to a painful swollen nose

Female | 22

It appears that a congestion in the nose is the result of the body's backlash to an allergen you are coming into contact with. When the powerful aroma reached your lungs, your body probably sneezed and let out mucus. Causing the nose to be inflamed, most likely on one side only. A saline spray can relieve the swelling and alleviate the pain. Take care to avoid the foods that cause your symptoms.

Female | 26

It looks like otitis media is the most likely reason, which is an infection in the middle ear. This condition can cause ear pain, jaw pain, and a feeling of throbbing or vibrating in your ear. The cough, runny nose, and headache could be related or separate issues. You must visit an ENT specialist to obtain the right medication. During the waiting time, you may use a warm compress on your ear to relieve the pain.
