Can patients with otitis media have an ear canal hearing aid

There are many patients because they don’t pay attention to the ears, so unknowingly because of the unhygienic ear canal, unintentional water inflow and so on will cause middle ear inflammation, which is commonly known as otitis media. So the hearing loss caused by otitis media is mainly conductive deafness. Because of periosteum perforation and suppuration, the ossicular chain is severely eroded until mixed deafness finally appears. The causes of mixed deafness appear in the middle and inner ear. This type of hearing loss is called sensorineural deafness. So can patients with otitis media wear an in ear hearing aid?

I believe that many patients don’t understand this, so I will tell you the classification of otitis media. All the patients with otitis media have simple acute and chronic otitis media, secretory otitis media or acute and chronic suppurative otitis media and cholesteatoma otitis media, especially suppurative otitis media. Because of the frequent purulence, we must not only go to the regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment, but also use medicine or surgery for treatment. If the above treatment is ineffective, there is still hearing loss, but we have When the inflammation is controlled or cured and the pus is no longer flowing, then appropriate hearing aids can be selected to improve the hearing and improve the quality of life.

According to the above different situations, different hearing aids should be selected:

If the tympanic membrane perforation is not cured, it is not suitable to choose a deep ear canal customized machine. Because when the inner ear hearing aid is not worn, the outer ear is open, and occasionally there is pus or water exudation that can flow out of the outer ear canal. However, if the middle ear is inflamed again after the ear canal is blocked, and secretion overflows, two situations can be caused:

One is that the secretion may flow back into the ear and cannot flow out due to the wearing of the ear type hearing aid, causing the inflammation of the middle ear again and aggravating the disease.

Second, the secretion overflows into the ear canal hearing aid, which is easy to damage the hearing aid, so it’s not worth the loss.

Therefore, if there is residual tympanitis and the tympanic membrane is not healed, the patient should also communicate with others to get good hearing. It is better to choose ear back hearing aid, which can not only improve hearing, but also avoid the two problems mentioned above.

So once the tympanitis is healed, there is no problem in choosing the inner ear hearing aid. And the effect will also be very good, because conductive deafness only shows mild to moderate hearing loss, normal frequency resolution, and cochlear function is also good, and the effect of any type of hearing aid is good.

The most important thing is to go to a professional hearing aid fitting institution (see the reasons for choosing a large institution). Another reason is to choose a suitable hearing aid. First of all, an accurate pure tone audiometry and a professional match examiner are the prerequisites for choosing a suitable hearing aid.
