Canalplasty is a surgical procedure designed to widen the ear canal when it is too narrow or obstructed, helping improve both function and access within the ear 🎧

The ear canal is a skin-lined passage that carries sound waves from the outer ear to the eardrum. It has two distinct sections: the outer cartilaginous canal, which is more flexible and skin-thickened, and the inner bony canal, where the skin is thinner and more rigid. When this natural passage becomes narrowed, hearing can be affected and ear health can be compromised.

Canalplasty helps restore proper canal width, allowing improved sound transmission and better overall ear function.

At Dallas Ear, our highly trained ent doctors are highly skilled and experienced making the ear canal wider. Call to schedule an appointment.

Cochlear implants are a well-established medical technology for individuals with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss who obtain limited benefit from conventional hearing aids 🎧

Rather than amplifying sound, a cochlear implant bypasses the damaged structures of the inner ear and directly stimulates the auditory nerve, allowing the brain to perceive sound signals more effectively.

At our Center for Cochlear Implants serving Dallas, Fort Worth, and Frisco, TX, patients are evaluated through a comprehensive multidisciplinary process to determine candidacy and optimize long-term hearing outcomes.

The Center for Cochlear Implants specialists provide the highest level of diagnostic and surgical care for cochlear implantation for all ages.

Middle ear reconstruction is a specialized surgical procedure designed to improve hearing by restoring the normal mechanics of sound transmission through the middle ear 🎧

Also referred to as ossiculoplasty or ossicular chain reconstruction, the procedure addresses dysfunction involving the eardrum and the small hearing bones (ossicles) that connect sound from the outer ear to the inner ear. When these structures are damaged or disrupted, sound conduction becomes inefficient, leading to conductive hearing loss.

Serving patients across Dallas, Fort Worth, and Frisco, TX, this procedure is tailored to each individual based on the specific anatomy and condition of the middle ear.

Chronic otitis media refers to long-standing inflammation or infection of the middle ear that does not fully resolve with standard antibiotic treatment 🎧

Unlike an acute ear infection, chronic otitis media involves persistent changes within the middle ear space, often affecting the eardrum and hearing bones over time. This can lead to fluid buildup, structural damage, and gradual hearing loss if left untreated.

Patients in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Frisco, TX are often evaluated for chronic ear conditions when symptoms such as recurrent infections, fullness, or hearing changes persist beyond typical infection recovery.

Chronic Ear Infection Treatment in Dallas, Frisco and Fort Worth What is chronic otitis media? When we get an ear infection, pus fills the space behind the eardrum called the middle ear. In many cases, antibiotics are given, and the infection completely resolves. This is called acute otitis media. S...

✈️ Flying can be tough on your ears, especially when pressure changes affect the middle ear and the Eustachian tube can’t equalize properly. This can lead to discomfort, muffled hearing, or even dizziness during takeoff and landing.

Understanding why this happens—and how to prevent it—can make air travel much more comfortable. Simple strategies like swallowing, chewing gum, or gently equalizing pressure can make a significant difference.

Read our full article “Tips for Flying From Your Ear Doctor” to learn how to protect your ears before your next flight and reduce in-flight discomfort.

Flying is generally very well tolerated. When ear problems occur, though, it can make a routine flight into a very uncomfortable, stressful experience. Following the guidelines above will generally prevent major issues associated with airplane travel. If your symptoms persist, don’t hesitate to se...

Eardrum retraction occurs when part of the tympanic membrane (eardrum) is pulled inward into the middle ear space 🎧

Most commonly, the posterior portion of the eardrum becomes drawn toward the middle ear structures, sometimes resting on the ossicles—the small bones responsible for transmitting sound. While the remainder of the eardrum may appear normal, this localized retraction can gradually lead to structural changes within the middle ear.

Over time, persistent retraction may contribute to erosion of the ossicles and progressive hearing loss if left untreated.

Our specialists at Dallas Ear Institute specialize in Eardrum myringoplasty which is to repair a hole in the eardrum.

A perilymphatic fistula is an uncommon disorder of the inner ear in which an abnormal opening develops between the fluid-filled inner ear and the air-filled middle ear. This disrupts the delicate pressure balance required for normal hearing and balance function.

🎧 Inner ear fluid (perilymph) may leak into the middle ear space
⚖️ Both hearing and vestibular (balance) systems can be affected
📉 Symptoms may fluctuate or worsen with pressure changes or exertion
📍 Often evaluated in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Frisco, TX after more common conditions are excluded

Because symptoms overlap with other disorders, diagnosis is often complex and requires careful specialist evaluation.
