What is tympanoplasty?

Tympanoplasty is the surgical repair of a hole or perforation in the eardrum. In this procedure, the surgeon uses a patch to close and fill a hole that does not heal on its own. The surgery is performed through an incision behind the ear or directly through the ear canal. A tissue graft is used as a patch to join the ends of the eardrum and stabilize the membrane to improve hearing.

Diagnosis

When you come to see an ENT doctor at our clinic, there is no waiting period and you can see the doctor immediately after your appointment. The doctor will start with a general examination and examine your ear with an instrument called an otoscope to determine if your eardrum has ruptured. The doctor will also check your hearing and ask you about your symptoms, how severe they are, how long ago you had them, etc. If the doctor suspects that you have a perforated eardrum, he or she will recommend appropriate treatment.

Surgical intervention

The treatment of a perforated eardrum mainly depends on the severity of the perforation. If the hole in your ear is small, your ENT doctor should give it time to heal on its own and may prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection while the perforated eardrum heals. During this time, you will be advised not to put water in the damaged ear or blow your nose too hard as this can cause pressure changes in the ear and interrupt the healing process. If the eardrum does not heal in about 2 months with medication and the following measures, your ENT doctor may recommend surgery called Best Tympanoplasty Treatment in Chembur to repair the hole in the eardrum. Tympanoplasty, or eardrum hole repair, is a non-invasive procedure performed on an outpatient basis. In this procedure, the ENT doctor uses tissue from another part of the body (usually behind the ear) to put a patch (or repair) on the eardrum. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's wishes. Tympanoplasty is covered by most public and private health insurances and has a success rate of up to 100%.
