my brother has otosclerosis in both ears and the doctor recommended surgery is the surgery safe or are there any other medicine options we can try first
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Otosclerosis surgery, like stapedectomy, is generally safe and effective, with a high success rate of improving hearing. However, there's a chance of complications, and non-surgical options like hearing aids and medications can be explored first.

View allI'm feeling a bit concerned because a long time ago, I got a piece of paper stuck in my left ear, and I thought it might have dissolved into earwax over the years. A few months back, I went to the doctor, and their assistant only removed some wax and prescribed some medicines. Lately, it feels like that paper might still be lodged in there, and I'm also experiencing tinnitus. Is there a way to check and remove this without using syringing? Im not too keen on syringing because Im doubtful of its effectiveness. What would you recommend?
