Eardrum Surgery – Restoring Hearing & Ear Health
The eardrum (tympanic membrane) plays a vital role in hearing and ear protection. Damage to the eardrum can lead to hearing loss, recurrent infections, and balance issues. At Dr. Necdet Demir’s Clinic, we specialize in eardrum surgery (tympanoplasty and myringoplasty) to restore ear function and improve patients’ quality of life.
What Causes Eardrum Damage?
✔ Ear Infections (Otitis Media) – Chronic or repeated infections can weaken and perforate the eardrum.
✔ Trauma or Injury – Sudden pressure changes (barotrauma), direct impact, or inserting objects into the ear.
✔ Previous Surgeries – Complications from past ear procedures or untreated ear conditions.
✔ Chronic Eustachian Tube Dysfunction – Poor ventilation in the ear leading to eardrum deterioration.
A perforated eardrum can result in hearing difficulties, frequent infections, and discomfort, but surgical repair can effectively restore function.
Our Eardrum Surgery Approach
At my clinic, I offer minimally invasive, effective procedures tailored to each patient’s condition.
1️⃣ Comprehensive Diagnosis & Evaluation
✔ Detailed hearing tests (audiometry)
✔ Endoscopic ear examination to assess eardrum damage
✔ Medical history review to determine the best surgical approach
2️⃣ Surgical Procedures for Eardrum Repair
🔹 Myringoplasty – A simple procedure to close small perforations using a tissue graft.
🔹 Tympanoplasty – A more advanced procedure that repairs the eardrum and restores hearing function.
🔹 Ossiculoplasty (Hearing Bone Reconstruction) – If middle ear bones are damaged, reconstruction may be necessary.
🔹 Combined Procedures – Addressing both eardrum damage and chronic infections if needed.
Most procedures are performed using microscopic or endoscopic techniques for precision and faster recovery.
Recovery & Post-Surgical Care
📌 First Week: Mild discomfort and ear packing for protection.
📌 2-3 Weeks: Gradual healing with hearing improvements.
📌 6-8 Weeks: Full recovery with stable hearing function.
Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions, including avoiding water exposure and pressure changes during healing.
