Otology: Medical-Surgical Ear Care

Ear Treatment

The physicians at Austin ENT Clinic specialize in diagnosing and treating all types of ear diseases including:

• Conductive hearing loss (outer and/or middle ear)
• Sensorineural hearing loss (damage to the inner ear)
• Mixed hearing loss (outer, middle, and inner ear)
• Meniere’s disease (inner ear causing vertigo)
• Hyperacusis (increased sensitivity to high frequencies and volumes)
• Otosclerosis (hearing loss due to the ear’s inability to amplify sound)
• Acoustic neuromas (nonmalignant tumor on the main nerve from the inner ear to the brain)

Depending on your specific condition, there are medical, surgical and technological treatment options.

If surgery is required, our ENT specialists are trained to provide various ear care procedures, including:

• Removal of ear tumors
• Repairing a perforated eardrum
• Stapedectomy, which is the replacement of a middle ear bone with a prosthesis
• Tympanoplasty, which involves the reconstruction of the eardrum
• Myringotomy, which is the drainage of ear fluid to reduce infection

In addition to surgery, our providers specialize in cochlear implants and other kinds of implantable devices to help restore your hearing.
