Ear lobule repair

Ear lobule repair

  • Ear lobule tears refer to the injury or splitting of the soft lower part of the earlobe, commonly caused by trauma, heavy earrings, or stretching.
  • They can range from minor superficial tears to complete splits and may result in pain, bleeding, or deformity of the earlobe.
  • In my clinic, ear lobule tears are treated with care and precision to restore the natural appearance of the earlobe.
  • We begin by evaluating the extent of the tear and discussing various repair options with the patient, including surgical techniques or suturing methods.
  • Our procedures prioritize sterile techniques and meticulous suturing to bring the torn edges together, aiming for optimal healing and minimal scarring.
  • Post-repair, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and assess the results.
  • Our goal is to offer patients a successful and cosmetically pleasing earlobe repair procedure, addressing their concerns with expertise and attention to detail.

CAUSES OF HEARING LOSS

  • By Birth
  • Excessive noise at work
  • Volume controls on home electronics
  • Loud tools and machinery
  • Sharp foreign bodies into ear

Treatments

If you have hearing problems, help is available. Treatment depends on the cause and severity of your hearing loss.

Options include:

  • Removing wax blockage: Earwax blockage is a reversible cause of hearing loss. Your doctor may remove earwax using suction or a small tool with a loop on the end.
  • Surgical procedures: Some types of hearing loss can be treated with surgery, including abnormalities of the eardrum or bones of hearing (ossicles). If you’ve had repeated infections with persistent fluid, your doctor may insert small tubes that help your ears drain.
  • Hearing aids: If your hearing loss is due to damage to your inner ear, a hearing aid can be helpful. An audiologist can discuss with you the potential benefits of a hearing aid and fit you with a device. Open fit aids are currently the most popular, due to fit and features offered.
  • Cochlear implants: If you have more severe hearing loss and gain limited benefit from conventional hearing aids, then a cochlear implant may be an option. Unlike a hearing aid that amplifies sound and directs it into your ear canal, a cochlear implant bypasses damaged or nonworking parts of your inner ear and directly stimulates the hearing nerve. An audiologist, along with a medical doctor who specializes in disorders of the ears, nose and throat (ENT), can discuss the risks and benefits.
