Suggest Tests To See If Presence Of Gunk Is The Cause Loss Of Hearing
I am a 58 year old female. I have a hearing loss on my rt. ear. Ear, nose, throat specialist said I needed a hearing aid because I had a hearing loss. Question: Would a catscan or mri tests show if there is any junk behind the ear? I ve heard some people have undergone ear surgery to remove gunk from inside the ear and their hearing is improved. Thank you. I d really like to hear again.
