Question
I had a cold and cough for two months, and after recovery, two weeks later, I noticed a decrease in hearing. During this period, I did not experience ear pain or any purulent discharge.
Answer
Otitis media refers to the inflammation of the entire middle ear or its regions. This type of disease is more common in children and is a relatively common disease in the otolaryngology field. The symptoms of otitis media often manifest as ear pain, tinnitus, and a decrease in hearing. Acute otitis media is one of the common ear diseases in clinical practice. Patients with acute otitis media must receive timely treatment to prevent it from transforming into chronic otitis media. Traditional treatments for otitis media mainly involve antibacterial, pus drainage, and anti-inflammatory measures to reduce the size of perforations, but it is difficult to achieve complete healing of the perforation and to cure otitis media completely, which is highly prone to recurrence. The adoption of advanced tympanoplasty techniques, combined with years of rich clinical experience, can effectively treat otitis media. Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to effectively treat middle ear lesions and reconstruct the middle ear conduction structure. The aim is to clear the lesions, repair the tympanic membrane, and reconstruct the ossicular chain to improve hearing. If you have any further questions, you can click on the left to consult me.
