The ear plays a vital role in hearing, communication, balance, and overall quality of life. Our Otology services in Bangalore provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for disorders affecting the outer, middle, and inner ear. We treat conditions ranging from recurrent ear infections, eardrum perforations, and hearing loss to chronic ear disease and cholesteatoma, with a focus on disease clearance, hearing preservation, and restoration of middle-ear function.

Each patient undergoes a detailed microscopic ear examination and hearing assessment, with appropriate imaging when required. Based on the condition and extent of disease, treatment may involve medical management or specialised ear surgery. Our surgical expertise includes Tympanoplasty, Mastoidectomy, Modified Radical Mastoidectomy (MRM), Ossiculoplasty, and Stapedotomy, with procedures individually planned according to the patient’s specific ear condition.

Tympanoplasty is performed to repair a perforated or damaged eardrum and, when necessary, reconstruct the middle-ear mechanism to improve hearing. Mastoidectomy involves removing disease from the mastoid air-cell system and is commonly performed for chronic ear disease and cholesteatoma. In more extensive disease, Modified Radical Mastoidectomy (MRM) may be performed to create a safe, dry ear while removing disease and, where possible, preserving or improving hearing.

Ossiculoplasty involves reconstructing or restoring the tiny hearing bones of the middle ear when they have been damaged or are absent due to chronic infection, cholesteatoma, trauma, or previous surgery. The aim is to improve the transmission of sound and optimise hearing outcomes. Stapedotomy is a specialised procedure used in appropriate patients with stapes-related hearing loss.

Treatment is tailored to each patient based on the condition of the eardrum, middle ear, ossicles, and mastoid. The approach emphasises complete disease clearance, hearing preservation where possible, restoration of middle-ear function, and the best achievable functional outcome.
