Is Surgery The Only Option For The Cavity In The Ear?

Hi,

I am Amit Singh, 3 years ago i had gone through surgery of my left year, i am not sure but i think it was MRM. Now i am facing hearing loss in left year, when i consulted a doctor he told me that there is a cavity in my ear and operation is the necessary.

Can you please tell me if surgery is the only option as i don't want to go through surgery again.

Thanks,
Amit
