which is better-Hearing Aid or Cochlear implant

In a Case of deaf child, cochlear implant is indicated only if hearing aid does not work at all.
If a child is getting benefited by HA and. She is achieving comprehensible and spoken speech. Then no need for CI. Parents and her audiologist can better judge for improvement.

Hearing problem

 good night sir


Hi
It happens that you hear better sometimes when ear is discharging as pus forms temporary contact between sound conducting structures. I shall suggest you to show ENT doctor who will assess damage ang may advise you to undergo surgery .. Dr Ajay Jain

RE: Left Ear Problem

Dear Mr. Vidyasagar,

 In first instance, I don't see any reason for hearing Aids not to work in your case. You need to discuss with your Audiologist. Regarding BAHA, It may be useful. I need to see your case in person.

I think hearing aid is only best option in your case.


with Best Regards,

Subject: Left Ear Problem

 I identified my hearing loss 11 years ago( i.e, in the  year 2000 ) and went to a doctor. They tested and said that Left ear  sensory nerve lossed. Left Ear can receive the sound at 70 dB only and mixed hearing loss.
 Right Ear can receive the sound at 35 dB only and mixed hearing loss.
 Recently agiain i went for audiometry test; Left Ear can receive the sound at 80 dB only and mixed hearing l Right Ear can receive the sound at 35 dB only and mixed hearing loss.
 Even i use hearing aid, i am not getting much difference.

Wheather BAHA surgery is useful for my case.
Please suggest the best solution for my case.

RE: Discharge from ears,Tinnitus,hearing Impairment

Dear Isha,

Diabetes is a major factor which may prolong the severity and duration of discharging ears and hence further deteriorating the hearing.

Tinnitus can be treated if we can restore the hearing back. I am not saying that It can be cured in all cases but if I can address the cause of hearing loss or amplify his hearing by proper hearing aid and using tinnitus maskers, Tinnitus can be helped.

If you do not want any surgery, then hearing aid is the best option to treat hearing handicapped.

RE: Urgent help needed regarding Hemangioma tongue

Hello,

The management of hemangioma tongue depends upon the site, extent of lesion, age of the patient and the present symptoms. It's difficult to generalize. Pls get in touch in person with the patient with radiological investigations.

Tinnitus both ears

Dear R....,

Any cause which results in hearing loss  can produce ringing sounds in ear. So if we can improve hearing with any modality (Surgery, Medicine or hearing aid), then it should result in diminished ringing sensation.

I need to see your audiometry report and scans to tell you what best can be done for you. You can send the same via email or meet in my clinic with prior appointment.

Question-Answer

Dear Sunny,

Any hearing loss whatever may be the cause, can result in ringing sensation in the ear.

You have not told your age, I guess you are young.

So first get an ENT consultation followed by pure tone audiometry and if needed impedance audiometery. If the cause of hearing loss is found, then treatment would be easy.

With regards

Dr. Ajay Jain

Hello Sir,

Is there a risk of "dead ear" wtih cutting the tenosr tympani and stapedial tendons/muscles?

Thanks You

Mr Patel

Dear Mr. Patel,

There is no risk of dead ear by cutting tensor tympani and stapedial tendon/muscle but this may lead to nullification of natural protective response from loud sounds and may cause noise induced hearing loss.
