Understanding Tinnitus: Why Do Your Ears Ring?
Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no external noise is present. Patients often describe it as:
Ringing or buzzing in the ears
Whistling or hissing sounds
Clicking or roaring noises
Constant or intermittent disturbances
Common Causes of Tinnitus
Understanding what triggers tinnitus is the first step toward effective treatment:
- Hearing loss – Age-related or noise-induced damage to inner ear cells
- Ear infections – Chronic infections affecting the middle or inner ear
- Earwax buildup – Blockages that impact hearing and cause ringing
- Meniere’s disease – Inner ear disorder affecting balance and hearing
- Otosclerosis – Abnormal bone growth in the middle ear
- Head or neck injuries – Trauma affecting auditory nerves
- Ototoxic medications – Certain drugs that damage hearing structures
How Ear Surgery Helps: Advanced Treatment for Lasting Relief
For patients with chronic tinnitus caused by structural ear problems, ear surgery can provide significant relief and hearing improvement. Dr. Prasobh specializes in surgical interventions that address the underlying conditions contributing to tinnitus.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ear Surgery and Tinnitus
Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) can result from various conditions, including hearing loss, ear infections, earwax buildup, Meniere’s disease, otosclerosis, or exposure to loud noise. Sometimes medications or head injuries can also trigger tinnitus. Dr. Prasobh will conduct thorough testing to identify the specific cause in your case and recommend appropriate treatment.
Ear surgery can be highly effective when tinnitus is caused by structural problems like damaged eardrums, otosclerosis, or chronic infections. Many patients experience significant reduction or complete resolution of ringing sounds after surgery. Success rates vary depending on the underlying condition, but Dr. Prasobh will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation based on your specific diagnosis.
Recovery time depends on the type of procedure performed. Minor surgeries like myringotomy may require just a few days of rest, while more complex procedures like stapedectomy might need 2-4 weeks before resuming normal activities. Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks. Dr. Prasobh provides detailed post-operative instructions and schedules follow-up appointments to ensure smooth healing.
The surgery itself is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, most patients experience mild discomfort, pressure, or temporary fullness in the ear, which is easily managed with prescribed pain medication. Any significant pain is uncommon and should be reported to Dr. Prasobh immediately.
As with any surgical procedure, ear surgery carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, hearing changes, or incomplete symptom relief. However, these complications are rare when performed by an experienced ENT specialist like Dr. Prasobh. He uses advanced techniques to minimize risks and will thoroughly discuss potential complications during your pre-operative consultation so you can make an informed decision.
