Area of care
Ear
From a child's first ear infection to complex middle-ear conditions, our physicians diagnose and treat problems of the ear for patients of every age.
What we treat
- Ear infection
Fluid trapped in the middle ear after a viral or bacterial infection. Most common in children, but it can affect anyone, and may be acute or keep coming back.
- Ear tubes
Small tubes placed in the eardrum to help children with frequent or lasting middle-ear infections and fluid.
- Earache
Ear pain can come from infection, Eustachian tube problems, jaw (TMJ) issues, pressure changes, earwax, or a sore throat.
- Earwax removal
Earwax protects the ear, but when it builds up and hardens it can block the canal. We remove it safely in the office.
- Perforated eardrum
A hole or tear in the eardrum. Many heal on their own; others need care to prevent infection and hearing loss.
- Cholesteatoma
An abnormal skin growth behind the eardrum that can slowly enlarge and damage the middle ear bones.
- Otosclerosis
Abnormal bone growth in the middle ear and a leading cause of middle-ear hearing loss in young adults.
- Acoustic neuroma
A noncancerous, usually slow-growing tumor on the nerve between the inner ear and brain that can affect hearing and balance.
