Patient Overview
Patient Name: Akash Kumar
Age: 35
Problem: Hearing loss in the left ear
Background:
Akash Kumar, a 35-year-old male, noticed gradual hearing loss in his left ear over the course of a few months. Audiological tests revealed conductive hearing loss due to damage to the ossicles in the middle ear.
Challenges:
The patient was concerned about the potential risks of surgery and the possibility of permanent hearing loss. The damaged ossicular chain required delicate reconstruction.
Treatment Plan:
Dr. Mohammad Hanif recommended a microsurgical procedure to repair the ossicular chain and restore hearing. The procedure was to be done under local anesthesia with the aid of a microscope for precise surgery.
Outcome:
The surgery was a success, and Akash regained significant hearing in his left ear. Post-operative audiological tests confirmed an improvement in hearing. Akash was highly satisfied with the results and reported that his quality of life had significantly improved.
