Surgical treatment for conductive hearing loss
Modern medicine offers various methods for restoring and correcting ear health. The right approach to therapy helps to restore or significantly improve hearing function.
Typically, hearing treatment involves the use of special devices. However, in complex cases, surgery is prescribed.
With conductive hearing loss, the sound wave is blocked and does not reach the auditory nerve. This is often caused by problems with the eardrum and ear bones.
Surgical hearing correction - tympanoplasty - helps solve the problem of hearing loss. The purpose of the operation is to restore the damaged eardrum. This helps sound waves freely reach the inner ear.
If hearing loss occurs due to damage to the ear bones, they are replaced with artificial implants. This helps restore normal sound transmission.
Diagnostics
The first step in diagnosing hearing problems in adults is a consultation with a specialist. He conducts an initial examination and collects anamnesis. The doctor also clarifies the symptoms that the patient complains of.
Audiometric tests help to clarify the type and cause of hearing loss.
If necessary, the specialist refers the patient to other procedures. For example, measuring otoacoustic emission helps to determine how effectively the inner ear responds to noise. In order to exclude structural damage, the doctor refers the patient to visualizing hearing tests (MRI, CT).
- Tonal audiometry The ability to hear sounds of different frequencies and volumes is measured
- Speech audiometry The doctor checks how the patient perceives and repeats words at different volumes
- Tympanometry The work of the eardrum is studied, the presence of fluid in the middle ear is determined

- Constant exposure to loud sounds
- Genetic predisposition
- Infections (otitis)

Using headphones in itself is not harmful if you take precautions. The risk to your hearing increases when listening to music at high volume for a long time.
To avoid problems, it is recommended to follow the 60/60 rule. That is, you can listen to music at 60% of the maximum volume for no more than 60 minutes a day. It is also recommended to use headphones with a noise-cancelling function - they also help preserve your hearing.

Indications for hearing correction
Hearing correction in adults is carried out against the background of deterioration in the perception of sound information. Correction is also recommended for people suffering from central hearing disorders caused by infectious diseases.
In addition, hearing correction is carried out in the presence of tinnitus (constant ringing in the ears). In all cases, this procedure helps to adapt to the sound environment.
