Cholesteatoma
Cholesteatoma
Cholesteatoma is characterized by non-cancerous and abnormal skin growth in the middle ear, behind eardrum. This medical condition can be genetic or due to recurrent infection in the middle ear.
Some of the common symptoms of cholesteatoma are swelling in the inner ear, chronic infection in the ear, vertigo, brain abscess, facial muscles paralysis and meningitis.
If the growth is not treated it may even lead to a permanent hearing loss. Our ENT specialist will carefully evaluate you and remove the cyst surgically.

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).
