Glue Ear in Children

Glue ear is more prevalent in children, particularly between the ages of 2 and 5 years. It can occur due to dysfunction of the Eustachian tubes, which are responsible for equalizing pressure in the middle ear and draining excess fluid. Other factors, such as allergies, respiratory infections, and environmental factors, may also contribute to the development of glue ear in children. Common symptoms in children include hearing loss, ear pain or discomfort, and speech and language development issues. Diagnosis involves a clinical evaluation by an ENT specialist (glue ear specialist) and may include audiological tests such as pure-tone audiometry and tympanometry.

Glue Ear in Adults

Although glue ear is commonly associated with children, it can also affect adults. However, the presentation and management of glue ear may differ in adults compared to children. The causes of glue ear in adults may include similar factors as in children, such as Eustachian tube dysfunction, respiratory infections, and allergies. Adults may also experience symptoms such as hearing loss, ear pain, and discomfort. Diagnosis involves a clinical evaluation by an ENT specialist (glue ear specialist) and may include additional diagnostic methods such as otoscopy and middle ear fluid analysis.

Causes of Glue Ear

The main cause of glue ear is dysfunction of the Eustachian tubes, which are responsible for maintaining proper ventilation and drainage of the middle ear. When the Eustachian tubes do not function effectively, it can result in a buildup of fluid in the middle ear, leading to glue ear. Other factors that may contribute to the development of glue ear include allergies, respiratory infections, and environmental factors such as exposure to smoke or pollutants. Understanding the underlying causes of glue ear is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment approach.

My friend has been suffering from ear problems for many years and took treatment for his ear problems in various hospitals in Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, U.P. and Arunachal Pradesh. Even after treatment for long years and in various hospitals, his partial heart loss of the left ear never improved or regained. Finally, Dr. From our native state, I.e Arunachal, suggested my friend to go for cochlear implantation and referred me to Dr. Rao ENT international Hospital Kukatpally, Hyderabad. By the Grace of God and Dr Shree Mam’s blessing, the operation was successful. The medical staff behaved in good manners even though we were facing a bit of a problem in conversation as their native language is Telugu. Besides the linguistic problem in a conversation with a few staff members, everything is perfect. Anyone Suffering from the same ear problems can consult this hospital without any doubt. Lastly, thank you, Dr. Shree man and other hospital staff for your great hospitality. We will never forget your kindness
