hello and welcome to health care magic,
I am Dr Sriram Nathan an ENT surgeon and I will try to help you out with your problem.
You mentioned that you have a
hearing loss following a
nose surgery. Theoretically any type of hearing loss can happen after any surgery but the more common cause would be just an effusion which am sure will get better in a couple of weeks. In many cases it may be just an Eustachian tube block or dysfunction or a mild
cold. Rarer causes like sensorineural hearing loss are just that; rare. A nose surgery thus has no direct relation to the hearing. So do not worry and I am sure you will definitely get better.
You may however try these to speed up the process:
-In my patients with effusion, I would usually recommend this maneuver. Swallow after against a closed nose!
-steam inhalation with menthol or any other vaporiser at least three times in a day for a week or so
-if you have respiratory infection, you must take the proper medication for the control of the same in consultation with your doctor. You remember to complete the full course.
-take a course of antihistamine like levocetrizine. Your doctor will know about this
If these do not help then you must wait for a week or two and get an pure tone
audiometry along with impedance audiometry and get back to me or any ENT with the report so that I can help you out better.
Hope this helps
regards
Dr Sriram Nathan
