Facts about hearing loss and Myringotomy



Basically, Myringotomy is a surgical procedure. In this procedure, a small opening is made into the tympanic membrane or eardrum to drain fluid from the middle ear. As per specialist of Pediatric ENT in Gurgaon, Nose, and Throat Specialist (ENT), this procedure is recommended to drain the fluid and restore hearing loss that may happen due to fluid accumulation in the middle ear. Myringotomy is regarded to be one of the most common types of ear surgery for children.
When a person suffers from an ear infection, the fluid tends to build up in the middle ear. In this surgery, an ENT specialist also put in a tube, in order to avoid the fluid to accumulate again. These tubes also help to drain the fluid buildup, and also reduce the possibility of ear infection in the near future. The most benefited from this surgery are the children, who develop multiple ear infections. Let us have a look at some of the most compelling benefits that Myringotomy caters to:
ü  Normal speech development
ü  Allowing enough time for the Eustachian tube to mature
ü  Hearing restoration
ü  Reduces further ear infections risk
ü  Risk of developing antibiotic resistance is also decreased
The Procedure
The ear infections cause inflammation, ultimately encouraging pus and mucus to accumulate. During Myringotomy tiny tubes are inserted into the Eustachian tubes, in order to drain out the fluid. When the ear tubes are implanted, these tubes carry air behind the tympanic membrane or eardrum. The air flow helps the fluid to flow out or dry it up. Once the fluid is drained out or dried completely, the pain which was there due to the ear infection subsides and hearing is restored in the majority of cases. 
This was all about hearing loss and Myringotomy, for further details you can reach out to ENT specialist Dr. Manish Prakash at General hospital Gurgaon Haryana.
