Myringotomy: Relieve Ear Pressure, Restore Your Hearing

Chronic ear infections, fluid buildup, and hearing loss can significantly impact your quality of life. Myringotomy is a simple yet effective procedure designed to address these issues and restore your ear health. If you’re considering this treatment, Antalya offers world-class medical care, affordable prices, and the perfect environment for recovery.

What is Myringotomy?

Myringotomy is a minor surgical procedure where a small incision is made in the eardrum to relieve pressure caused by fluid buildup. This procedure is often performed to treat:

  • Chronic ear infections (otitis media),

  • Persistent fluid in the middle ear,

  • Hearing loss due to fluid accumulation,

  • Eustachian tube dysfunction.

The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and typically takes less than 15 minutes. In some cases, a tiny tube (tympanostomy tube) is inserted to keep the incision open and allow continuous drainage.

Diagnosis: Do You Need Myringotomy?

Myringotomy is recommended if you experience:

  • Recurrent ear infections,

  • Persistent ear pain or pressure,

  • Hearing loss or muffled hearing,

  • Fluid buildup that doesn’t resolve with medication.

Your ENT specialist will conduct a thorough examination, including an otoscopy and hearing tests, to determine if myringotomy is the right solution for you.

Treatment Methods

Myringotomy is a straightforward procedure with two main approaches:

1. Standard Myringotomy
  • A small incision is made in the eardrum to drain fluid.

  • The incision heals naturally within a few days.

2. Myringotomy with Tube Insertion
  • A tympanostomy tube is placed in the incision to keep it open.

  • The tube typically falls out on its own after 6-12 months.

Both methods are performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and condition.
