Tympanoplasty in Bangalore

What Conditions are Treated with Tympanoplasty?

Conditions  that are treated with tympanoplasty include:

• Perforated eardrum: Tympanoplasty is used to repair holes or tears in the tympanic membrane caused by trauma, infection, or other problems.
• Chronic otitis media: If you’ve had repeated ear infections that haven’t cleared up with medical treatment, you may need tympanoplasty.
• Conductive hearing loss: If you have hearing loss caused by damage to the small bones in your middle ear, such as your eardrum or the bones behind your eardrum (ossicles), your doctor may suggest tympanoplasty.
• Cholesteatoma: This is the abnormal growth of skin cells in your middle ear behind the eardrum. It can damage the bones of your middle ear. Tympanoplasty can be used to treat the condition and prevent repeated ear infections.
• Barotrauma: If you’ve had a sudden change in pressure, such as while scuba diving or flying, and you’ve damaged your eardrum, you may need tympanoplasty.
