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.
