my mom has about 30% hearing loss and we're wondering if surgery is the only option or are there other treatments that could help her
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For 30% hearing loss, hearing aids are usually the primary treatment option, rather than surgery. Hearing aids amplify sounds and improve speech understanding, especially in quiet environments. While surgery, like a cochlear implant, might be considered for more severe hearing loss, it's not the initial approach for moderate hearing loss

View allI've been experiencing this constant ringing in both of my ears and it's really affecting my ability to concentrate. I'm not sure what's going on and it's starting to worry me. Could you suggest any medicines or treatments that might help?
It sounds like you may be experiencing tinnitus, which is the sensation of hearing ringing, buzzing, or other sounds in the ears. To help with this, you can try taking Ginkgo biloba extract. I recommend taking 120-240 mg per day to help improve blood flow to the ears and reduce the ringing sensation. Additionally, you can try using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to help with any earwax buildup that may be contributing to the ringing. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for proper use. If the symptoms persist, it's important to follow up with an ENT specialist for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with my tonsils swelling up every now and then, and it's really causing some pain in my throat. Could you help me figure out why this keeps happening and what might be causing the tonsils to swell like this?
Treatment includes warm salt gargles, pain relievers, and possibly antibiotics if bacterial infection is suspected. If the pain persists, is severe, or is accompanied by fever, its best to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with constant phlegm in my throat for quite a while now. I hardly ever cough, but the phlegm just keeps showing up every day. I don't feel weak or anything, but it's really starting to annoy me. There's no reduction even though I don't have a cold. What could be causing this and how can I get some relief?
it can be post nasal drip due to allergy or chronic sinusitis.
