Conductive Hearing Loss

Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Hearing loss that occurs with damage or malfunction of the nerve pathways of the inner ear and is irreversible. Commom Causes: Meniere's Disease, Diabetes, Syphilis, Ototoxicity, Congenital Inheritance, Presbycusis, Head Trauma, Labyrinthitis, & Acoustic Neuroma

Hearing loss that occurs when injury or disease interferes with the conduction of sound waves from the external or middle ear to the inner ear. Common Causes: Otosclerosis & Cerumen Obstruction

Surgery of the Ear

Surgery of the Ear

Post-Op Nursing Care Continued:

  • Treat pain effectively.
  • Antiemetics for post-op N/V.
  • Monitor surgical site for S/S of infection.
  • Monitor drainage output if post-op drain in place.
  • Perform neuro checks to monitor for nerve damage post-op (ex: facial paralysis).
  • Decrease anxiety & provide patient education with effective communication.

Post-Operative Nursing Care:

  • Patient is high fall risk due to vertigo/dizziness post-op.
  • Avoid increased pressure within the ear (blowing nose, straining, sneezing).
  • Ear canal might have packing in place - will be removed by surgeon.
  • If a tympanic membrane graft is performed - patient lie on unaffected side.
  • Otherwise - patient can lie on affected side to promote drainage post-op.
