Professional Hearing Loss Treatment in Hardoi by Board-Certified ENT Specialists

What Is Hearing Loss?

Hearing loss is a decrease in the ability to hear sounds, which may be mild to profound and can affect one or both ears. It may involve the outer/middle ear (conductive), inner ear or nerve (sensorineural), or a combination of both.

Symptoms & When to Seek Care

Warning signs include:

• Difficulty understanding speech, especially in groups or with background noise
• Needing higher TV or mobile volume than others
• Asking people to repeat or mishearing words
• Ringing in ears (tinnitus) or ear fullness
• Speech and language delay in children

Immediate ENT consultation is needed if hearing loss is sudden, associated with vertigo, or follows noise/medicine exposure.

Diagnostic Process

Hearing assessment at Prime ENT Center may include:

• Otoscopic examination to look for wax, infection, or perforation
• Pure tone audiometry to measure hearing thresholds across frequencies
• Impedance/tympanometry to assess middle ear pressure and ossicular function
• OAE/BERA or specialized tests in children or suspected nerve involvement

These tests help categorize hearing loss and decide between medical, surgical, or device-based solutions.

Treatment Options

Treatment plans are individualised and may include:

• Medical therapy for infections, fluid in the middle ear, allergies, or sudden sensorineural hearing loss
• Microsurgery such as tympanoplasty, ossiculoplasty, or stapedotomy for selected conductive losses
• Digital hearing aids (BTE, RIC, CIC) programmed to the audiogram for mild–severe losses
• Implantable options (bone conduction devices, cochlear implants) for non‑hearing‑aid candidates

Counselling for communication strategies and auditory rehabilitation is offered to maximise benefit from any device.

Recovery & Aftercare

• Surgical patients usually notice progressive hearing improvement as healing completes and any packing is removed.
• Hearing aid users undergo fine‑tuning sessions, follow‑up audiograms, and periodic servicing to maintain optimal performance.
• Long‑term ear protection, infection control, and regular check‑ups are key to preserving remaining hearing.

FAQs

Are all hearing aids visible and bulky?
Modern digital devices are compact, many models are nearly invisible in the canal or sit discreetly behind the ear.

Can children with hearing loss develop normal speech?
With early diagnosis, appropriate amplification, and speech therapy, many children achieve age‑appropriate speech and schooling.
