Ear & Hearing Disorders – Expert ENT Care

Ear and hearing problems can affect communication, comfort, sleep, and everyday activities. Dr. Titiksha K. Bisure provides consultation, evaluation, and treatment for a range of ear-related conditions, including ear wax buildup, infections, hearing difficulties, tinnitus, and ear injuries. Treatment is planned according to the patient’s symptoms, examination findings, and individual needs.

Common Ear & Hearing Conditions

Patients may consult an ENT specialist for:

• Ear Wax / Impacted Wax: Excessive ear wax that causes blockage, discomfort, or reduced hearing.

• Ear Infections & Ear Discharge: Ear pain, fluid discharge, irritation, or recurrent infections.

• Hearing Loss: Difficulty hearing conversations, television, or sounds in daily environments.

• Tinnitus: Ringing, buzzing, or other sounds perceived in the ears without an external source.

• Foreign Bodies in the Ear: Objects lodged in the ear canal that require safe removal.

• Ear Bleeding & Ear Trauma: Bleeding or injury involving the ear that needs medical assessment.

Symptoms That Should Not Be Ignored

Consider consulting an ENT specialist if you experience persistent ear pain, blocked ears, discharge, ringing sounds, repeated infections, or difficulty hearing. Sudden hearing loss, significant ear bleeding, or severe symptoms following an injury require urgent medical evaluation.

Diagnostic Evaluation

A consultation generally begins with a review of symptoms, medical history, and an examination of the ears. Depending on the clinical findings, further assessment may be recommended to identify the cause of the problem.

Diagnostic evaluation may include:

• Ear examination using appropriate instruments.

• Assessment of ear wax, discharge, or visible abnormalities.

• Hearing evaluation when indicated.

• Further investigations or specialist assessment when required.

Treatment & ENT Procedures

Treatment depends on the underlying condition. Available procedures and surgical services may include:

• Ear wax removal.

• Foreign body removal from the ear.

• Ear-related minor procedures.

• Myringotomy with grommet insertion, when clinically indicated.

• Intratympanic injections for selected conditions.

• Tympanoplasty for suitable eardrum problems.

• Mastoidectomy, stapedotomy, or ossiculoplasty when indicated.

• Osteoma removal in appropriate cases.

Not every patient requires surgery. Many ear conditions can be managed through appropriate medical treatment, preventive guidance, or outpatient procedures.

When Should You Consult an ENT Specialist?

Early evaluation can help identify the cause of ear discomfort and determine the appropriate treatment. Avoid inserting cotton buds or other objects into the ear canal, as this may worsen blockage or cause injury.
