Transtympanic Injection Procedures

Transtympanic Injection Procedures at Asian ENT Care Centre, Hyderabad

Transtympanic Injection Procedures are advanced treatments used to deliver medication directly into the middle ear, offering targeted therapy for various inner ear disorders. At Asian ENT Care Centre in Hyderabad, our experienced ENT surgeons perform these procedures in-office, providing a non-invasive solution to a range of hearing and balance issues.

What are Transtympanic Injections?

A transtympanic injection involves the use of a long, narrow-bore needle that is carefully inserted through the ear canal and past the eardrum (tympanic membrane) to deliver medications directly into the middle ear. This allows the medication to be absorbed by the inner ear, offering a more localized and effective treatment compared to traditional oral or intravenous therapies.

Transtympanic injections are typically performed in the office while the patient is awake, making the procedure quick, comfortable, and minimally invasive.

Advantages of Transtympanic Injections

Transtympanic injections provide several benefits over traditional systemic drug delivery methods:

• Local Application: The medication is applied directly to the affected area for maximal effect, improving treatment outcomes.
• Office Procedure: The injection is typically performed in the doctor’s office, eliminating the need for hospitalization.
• Fewer Systemic Side Effects: Since the medication is delivered directly to the inner ear, there are fewer side effects on other parts of the body.
• Suitable for Patients Who Cannot Take Systemic Steroids: Transtympanic injections are ideal for patients who cannot tolerate oral or intravenous steroids due to conditions like diabetes, glaucoma, peptic ulcers, or tuberculosis.

Conditions Treated with Transtympanic Injections

1. Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL): One of the most common uses of transtympanic injections is for the treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss, especially in patients who have not responded to systemic therapy. Intratympanic injections of Dexamethasone are commonly used in these cases.

2. Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Patients with long-standing or progressive sensorineural hearing loss who have not responded to oral steroids may benefit from PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections, which help stimulate healing and improve hearing function.

3. Tinnitus: Transtympanic injections can also be used to manage tinnitus (ringing in the ears), particularly in patients where other treatments have not been effective.

Injection Dexamethasone for Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL)

Dexamethasone injections are often used to treat sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) when oral or systemic steroids have failed. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, helps reduce inflammation and swelling in the inner ear, promoting recovery and improving hearing outcomes. Studies have shown that intratympanic dexamethasone can significantly improve hearing in patients with SNHL who have not responded to conventional treatments.

Injection PRP for Sensorineural Hearing Loss & Tinnitus

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are another option for patients suffering from sensorineural hearing loss or tinnitus. PRP therapy utilizes the patient’s own blood, concentrating the platelets to deliver growth factors and promote healing in the damaged ear structures. This treatment has been shown to offer promising results in improving hearing and reducing tinnitus symptoms, especially in cases that have not responded to other treatments.
