About the Health Information

On World Hearing Day(March 3^rd), we take a moment to recognize the importance of hearing health and the impact that hearing loss can have on individuals and their families.

This year’s theme, “Hearing Care for ALL! Screen, Rehabilitate, Communicate”, highlights the importance of early identification, intervention, and management of hearing loss. At MGM Healthcare, the Institute of ENT, Head & Neck Surgery has been committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for patients with hearing loss and related conditions. This year marks a special milestone for the department, as they commemorate their fifth year of service to the community.

Hearing loss can occur at any age and can be caused by a variety of factors. Some people are born with hearing loss, while others experience it later in life due to injury, infection, or exposure to loud noises. It is important to understand that hearing loss is not a normal part of aging and should not be ignored. If left untreated, hearing loss can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life, including communication, socialization, and emotional well-being.

Congenital hearing loss, which is present at birth, is a significant concern in paediatric patients. It can be caused by genetic factors, maternal infections during pregnancy, or complications during birth. Early identification and intervention can greatly improve a child’s chances of developing language and communication skills on par with their hearing peers. At MGM Healthcare, the ENT team works closely with paediatric patients and their families to diagnose and manage hearing loss from infancy to adolescence.

Cochlear implants are a common treatment option for individuals with severe or profound hearing loss. This device is implanted surgically and works by bypassing the damaged part of the ear and stimulating the auditory nerve directly. The Institute of ENT, Head & Neck Surgery at MGM Healthcare houses talent that has extensive experience in performing cochlear implant surgery and providing ongoing support and rehabilitation to patients and their families.

In addition to cochlear implants, the dedicated team of the Institute of ENT, Head & Neck Surgery at MGM Healthcare provides a wide range of diagnostic and treatment services for hearing loss and related conditions. This includes hearing tests, ear wax removal, hearing aid fittings, and treatment for ear infections and tinnitus. They are committed to utilizing the latest technology and techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for their patients.

It is important to remember that seeking help for hearing loss is a sign of strength, not weakness. The Institute of ENT, Head & Neck Surgery at MGM Healthcare is dedicated to providing a supportive and compassionate environment for patients and their families. They understand the impact that hearing loss can have on a person’s life and are committed to helping them navigate the challenges of hearing loss with dignity and respect.
