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 have nasal polyps and a fungal infection causing severe right-sided headaches and watery eyes multiple times a day. My doctor suggested surgery, but I'm worried about risks like losing my sense of smell or potential effects on my eyes and brain. Since it's still early, I want to try home remedies first specifically tea tree oil. How exactly should I use it for nasal polyps and fungus? I'm already doing steam inhalation 2-3 times a day. The polyps are only in my right nostril left side is fine.
To manage your nasal polyps and fungal infection with tea tree oil, create a diluted solution and apply it with a cotton swab, steam inhalation, or in a diffuser. Dilute 3-5 drops of tea tree oil in an ounce of carrier oil like olive or coconut oil, and gently dab the solution on the right nostril using a cotton swab 2-3 times a day. You can also add the diluted solution to your steam inhalation or an aromatherapy diffuser
