Understanding Myringotomy

Myringotomy is a small opening made in the eardrum to drain fluid from the middle ear, usually followed by insertion of a tiny ventilation tube (grommet). It is the standard treatment for persistent glue ear, most often in children.

It is a very short day-care procedure done through the ear canal under a brief general anaesthetic. Ayushman Surgicare arranges the hearing test, surgeon and insurance.

Common Symptoms

If you have one or more of these, it's worth speaking to a specialist.

Reduced hearing, or turning up the TV volume
Glue ear that has not cleared after 3 months
Delayed or unclear speech in a young child
Repeated middle-ear infections
Balance problems or clumsiness
Ear discomfort or a feeling of fullness

Our specialists use the latest minimally invasive techniques wherever possible — smaller incisions, less bleeding and a faster return to daily life.

Every patient has a full pre-surgical evaluation to decide the most effective approach, and a multidisciplinary team supports your health before, during and after the procedure.

Patient stories

Real people, real recoveries

A few words from patients whose treatment was coordinated through Ayushman Surgicare.

“The sinus pressure and headaches had worn me down for years. After the endoscopic surgery I could breathe through my nose for the first time in a decade, and my sense of smell came back.”
VVikram S.FESS Sinus Surgery · Hyderabad

RReshma A.Grommet Insertion (Myringotomy) · Uppal
“I'd lived with a blocked nostril my whole life thinking it was normal. The septoplasty was done through the nose with no bruising, and I finally sleep through the night.”

“The tonsillitis kept knocking me out of work every few weeks. Recovery was rough for a week, but I haven't had a single throat infection since.”
PPooja M.Tonsillectomy · Secunderabad
“They found a nodule on my thyroid that needed removing. The surgeon explained every risk to my voice, the scar sits in a neck crease, and my Care Buddy sorted the follow-up blood tests.”
