Barotrauma
Barotrauma
Barotrauma is seen mainly in people who practice diving and trekking. This occurs due to changes in the air pressure and velocity. Indications of barotrauma include giddiness, discomfort in the ear, acute pain in the ear, difficulty in hearing, bleeding from the nose, damage of eardrum, etc. The ENT specialist treats the patient based on the severity of the infection.

Treatments
Cochlear implant in India is a very rare curative procedure then. Under the leadership of Dr. P.G.Visvanathan, Dr.Aruna Viswanathan and Dr.Anjana Visvanathan, we offered this technology to India, thereby making the cure for hearing loss accessible and affordable.
Implant Otology
The outer part of the ear consists of the pinna (auricle) and ear canal. The basic function of the external ear is to amplify and adjust the sound frequency (around 3 kHz) and pressure (around 30-100 fold).
