My mom has moderate hearing loss in her left ear and sometimes hears abnormal sounds, but there's no pain. The doctor suggested surgery and did an HRCT of the temporal bone. I'm not sure if surgery is the only option right now are there any alternative treatments we should consider?

Yes, besides surgery, alternative treatments for moderate hearing loss and tinnitus include hearing aids, tinnitus retraining therapy, and potentially certain medications. The best approach depends on the cause of the hearing loss and tinnitus, as determined by the HRCT of the temporal bone and other diagnostic tests.

I'm dealing with a pretty painful ulcer on my uvula that I've had for about three days now. The doctor gave me some meds, but I'm really anxious to know how long it'll take to heal. Also, is there anything I can do to help ease the pain in the meantime? I've heard about using Betadine garglewould that be helpful? Any advice on speeding up the recovery would be appreciated.
