Ear Discharge: When Is Surgery the Right Choice?

In this episode of ENT Talks, Dr. Vivek Sasindran breaks down why timely treatment matters and clears the fear around ear surgery. Ear surgery sounds scary—but avoiding it can cost you your hearing. In many cases, persistent ear discharge is due to a small hole in the eardrum (chronic otitis media). While ear drops may give temporary relief, they don’t fix the root problem. Over time, this can lead to worsening hearing loss and even damage to the tiny bones inside the ear. The permanent solution? Tympanoplasty—a procedure to repair the eardrum and restore ear health. Delaying surgery may reduce the chances of regaining full hearing. #ENTTalks #EarHealth #HearingCare #Tympanoplasty #ChronicOtitisMedia #ENTSpecialist #HealthAwareness #HearingLoss #MedicalMyths #DrVivekSasindran Change title and description to this
