Common Ear Disorders

Ear infections, particularly in children, are among the most prevalent ear disorders. These infections can affect different parts of the ear, including the outer ear (otitis externa), middle ear (otitis media), and inner ear (labyrinthitis). Symptoms may include pain, hearing loss, and discharge. At TridENT Cares, Dr. Santhosh Kumar P provides accurate diagnosis and effective treatment to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.

Hearing loss can result from various factors, including age, noise exposure, infections, and genetic predisposition. Dr. Santhosh Kumar P utilizes advanced diagnostic tools at TridENT Cares to identify the cause and extent of hearing loss, providing tailored treatment options, including hearing aids and surgical interventions.

Vertigo and balance disorders can significantly impact daily activities and overall well-being. These conditions often stem from issues within the inner ear.

Ear discharge is a very common condition which can affect people of all age groups, but primarily it affects the children. Inflammation of the external and middle ear is the cause for ear discharges.

 A baby starts hearing while still a foetus in the mother’s womb. The first few years are crucial to the development of communication skills in babies. Speech and hearing are intricately interconnected in children. Children learn and develop their speaking skills by copying those around them. If they can’t hear properly, they won’t learn to speak properly either.
