Otology and Neurotology at ShardaCare – Healthcity: Advancing Ear and Balance Care with Precision and Compassion

Our sense of hearing connects us deeply to the world — helping us communicate, stay aware, and enjoy life’s everyday sounds. But when ear-related disorders disrupt this vital sense, it can affect not only hearing but also balance, confidence, and quality of life. Conditions like chronic ear infections, vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss often require expert evaluation and specialised care beyond routine ENT treatment.

At ShardaCare – Healthcity, our Department of Otology and Neurotology offers advanced diagnosis, treatment, and surgical management for ear and balance-related disorders. With a team of experienced ENT specialists, audiologists, and neurologists, we combine medical expertise with compassionate care to help every patient regain comfort, clarity, and confidence.

Understanding Otology and Neurotology

Otology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diseases and disorders of the ear, including the outer, middle, and inner ear. It addresses problems like ear infections, perforated eardrums, and hearing loss.

Neurotology, on the other hand, deals with conditions involving both the ear and the nervous system — especially those affecting hearing, balance, and the cranial nerves that connect to the brain.

Together, these specialities focus on some of the most delicate and vital structures of the body, requiring precise diagnosis and skilled treatment.

Common Conditions Treated in Otology and Neurotology

At ShardaCare – Healthcity, we provide comprehensive care for a wide range of ear and balance-related conditions, including:

• Chronic Ear Infections (Otitis Media): Recurrent infections that may cause hearing loss or discharge.
• Eardrum Perforations: Holes or tears in the eardrum due to infection or trauma.
• Cholesteatoma: An abnormal skin growth in the middle ear that can damage nearby structures.
• Otosclerosis: Hardening of the middle ear bones, leading to progressive hearing loss.
• Tinnitus: Constant ringing or buzzing sound in the ears.
• Vertigo and Balance Disorders: Conditions affecting equilibrium, often caused by inner ear dysfunction.
• Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Rapid loss of hearing requiring immediate treatment.
• Acoustic Neuroma (Vestibular Schwannoma): A benign tumour affecting the hearing and balance nerve.

Our team also provides care for congenital ear deformities, post-traumatic ear injuries, and complications arising from previous ear surgeries.

Advanced Treatments and Procedures at ShardaCare – Healthcity

Our Otology and Neurotology Department offers both medical and surgical solutions, customised according to each patient’s condition and hearing profile. Using advanced diagnostic tools and minimally invasive surgical techniques, we ensure safe, accurate, and effective care.

Key procedures include:

• Tympanoplasty: Surgical repair of a perforated eardrum to restore hearing and prevent recurrent infections.
• Mastoidectomy: Removal of infected or damaged mastoid bone tissue to control chronic infection.
• Stapedectomy: Microsurgery to replace a fixed stapes in patients with otosclerosis, restoring hearing.
• Cochlear Implant and Bone-Anchored Hearing Devices: For patients with severe or profound hearing loss who do not benefit from traditional hearing aids.
• Labyrinthectomy and Vestibular Nerve Section: For intractable vertigo cases to relieve severe balance disorders.
• Acoustic Neuroma Management: Surgical and non-surgical treatment options for nerve tumours near the ear-brain connection.

Each procedure is performed by highly trained ENT surgeons with access to advanced microsurgical and endoscopic equipment, ensuring minimal trauma and faster recovery.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Excellence

Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of successful ENT and neuro-otologic treatment. At ShardaCare – Healthcity, we utilise advanced diagnostic facilities such as:

• Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) to assess hearing thresholds.
• Tympanometry to evaluate middle ear function.
• Otoacoustic Emission (OAE) testing for newborn hearing screening.
• Vestibular Function Testing for dizziness and balance evaluation.
• CT/MRI Imaging for detailed visualisation of the ear and nerve structures.

These tests help our specialists detect even the smallest abnormalities and plan targeted, patient-specific treatments.

Rehabilitation and Holistic Care

For patients recovering from ear surgery or managing long-term hearing loss, rehabilitation plays a crucial role. At ShardaCare – Healthcity, we offer comprehensive audiological and vestibular rehabilitation programs, including:

• Speech and Hearing Therapy for children and adults post-surgery or with congenital hearing issues.
• Vestibular Rehabilitation for patients experiencing dizziness or imbalance.
• Hearing Device Fitting and Support for cochlear implants and hearing aids.
• Lifestyle and Safety Counselling for managing chronic ear and balance conditions.

Our goal is not only to treat disease but to help patients regain full confidence in their daily lives.
