Since your daughter has had ear problems for several years and the right ear hearing is significantly reduced while the left ear is functioning a little better suggests a long standing hearing issue rather than a simple short term infection The use of a hearing machine for the right ear indicates that the hearing loss there is more pronounced
chronic ear problems in children can be due to repeated infections fluid behind the eardrum damage to the middle ear structures or inner ear involvement, Ear drops alone usually help only in active infections or external ear problems and may not improve hearing if the issue is deeper
The most important step at this stage is a detailed hearing evaluation including audiometry and ear examination by an ENT specialist if not done recently .This helps understand the exact level of hearing in both ears and whether the condition is stable improving or worsening .Early assessment is very important at her age because hearing directly affects speech learning and overall development.
Supportive care like protecting the ears from water ,avoiding cotton buds and treating any cold ,cough or nasal allergy promptly is important ,If infections occurred in the last six months ,they need to be fully resolved as repeated infections can further reduce hearing.
Depending on the findings treatment may include medical management ,hearing rehabilitation ,or changes in the hearing device . Regular follow up is essential , proper evaluation and timely care ,many children are able to maintain or improve functional hearing and quality of life.
Hello, I understand your concern regarding your daughter’s long-standing ear problem since age 5, with the right ear not working and the left ear slightly better. Since she has been using a hearing aid in the right ear and has had recent infections, it is important to properly assess the current condition.
As an Ayurvedic ENT specialist, I must mention that without examining her ears, I cannot prescribe any specific medicines. Ear conditions can be complex, and improper treatment can worsen hearing or cause complications.
🔎 Recommended Step: Please take your daughter to a qualified ENT clinic for a thorough ear examination and hearing assessment. Once the examination is done, I can guide you with Ayurvedic treatment options tailored to her condition.
With regards, Dr. Sumi Ayurvedic ENT Specialist
