Question
Two years ago, I suffered from acute otitis media, and about a year after recovery, I started to experience a decline in hearing. I have consulted at Dongxing City People’s Hospital and Qinzhou People’s Hospital.
Answer
Recurrent middle ear effusion indicates eustachian tube dysfunction. Firstly, it is necessary to determine the cause of eustachian tube dysfunction and reopen the eustachian tube; if the effusion persists, tympanostomy tube insertion surgery can be performed, which is not a major operation.
