Hearing loss treatment depends on the cause. Hearing loss of a trained ear canal obstruction (eg due to a cap of wax) is treated with some drops to dissolve the wax. If a middle ear effusion fluid is required timpanostomie - inserting a tube into the eardrum to drain secretions. Some children need an adenoidectomy - removal of hypertrophied adenoids - to allow the Eustachian tube. Hearing loss caused by autoimmune diseases treated with corticosteroids (prednisone).


In patients with otospongioza, auditory function can be restored by surgery - stapedectomia - and footpeg replacement by a prosthesis. Cranial tumors train a hearing, and in some cases can be removed to restore hearing.


In cases where hearing loss can not be eliminated because the treatment is to compensate the loss of auditory function. Most patients with moderate or severe hearing loss use hearing aids. In patients with profound hearing loss is cochlear implant solution.
