Chronic Otitis is typically combined with a <a href=\"https:\/\/art-orl.com\/en\/ear\/hearing-hearing-loss\/\">tympanic membrane perforation<\/a> (hole in the eardrum). Symptoms are hearing loss, tinnitus (buzzing or noises in the ear), and recurring purulent discharge.<\/p><p>In some cases of chronic otitis, skin cells are accumulated in a sac, which is formed inside the middle ear cavity. This sac, which is called cholesteatoma, expands inside the ear and can erode bone and threaten important structures, such as the facial nerve or the brain dura.<\/p><p>Exacerbations of chronic otitis are treated with local debridement by the doctor and application of ear drops, containing antibiotics and cortisone.

Typically it lasts for about an hour and requires one night stay in hospital.<\/p><p>If there is also erosion of the little bone (ossicles) behind the perforated eardrum, the surgeon repairs the defect with special implants and\/or cartilage from the pinna, and the operation is called ossiculoplasty.<\/p><p>After the completion of the healing period, usually in a month\u2019s time, the ear is watertight, does not discharge anymore and the hearing improves.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e8e3168 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"7e8e3168\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43a92950 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43a92950\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><strong>Mastoidectomy<\/strong><\/h4><p>Often in <a href=\"https:\/\/art-orl.com\/en\/ear\/chronic-otitis-and-tympanoplasty\/\">Chronic Otitis<\/a>, apart from the middle ear space, we need to access the mastoid cavity, behind the ear, to clear the inflammatory tissue, which produces the pus, or to remove the cholesteatoma. The cavity is usually left open for draining and inspection. The operation is called Mastoidectomy, is done under general anaesthesia and lasts for approximately two hours. As in tympanoplasty, the patient can be discharged home on the next day. Healing takes more time than other ear operations. The ear needs to be kept dry for life. Follow-up and cleaning by a specialist, once or twice a year, is also necessary.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09fe19b sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"09fe19b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e12198 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-color-official sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"4e12198\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tThis website aims at providing simplified scientific information and not medical advice on specific conditions or\nindividual cases.
