hearing loss
OtolaryngologyHearing loss is a partial hearing impairment in which a person is worse at detecting or understanding sounds. This term should not be confused with deafness. In deafness, a person cannot hear at all.
Treatment methods
Why does hearing loss occur
Hearing loss has several causes, from hearing loss from loud sounds to the effects of infections or injuries. In this condition, a person may not be able to hear sounds of certain frequencies, loudness or not perceive whispers.
There are several types of hearing loss, depending on the location of the problem in the hearing organs. For example, sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage to the inner ear, while conductive hearing loss is caused by damage to the ear canal or middle ear.
The human system of sound transmission and perception is complex, so it takes an experienced surdologist to make a diagnosis. At the clinic. “MDI MDI in Israel has the best otolaryngologists and surdologists who will help you to cure hearing loss.
Diagnosis of hearing loss
The first to notice the problem is the patient’s family or friends, as it is difficult to assess hearing loss on one’s own. You should first consult an otolaryngologist and undergo a set of examinations.
These are a variety of hearing tests:
- tympanometry – checking the elasticity of the tympanic membrane;
- impedanceometry – a study of the sound conducting system;
- Speech audiometry – a test of hearing acuity.
Additional tests may also be needed. Hearing loss can be caused by infectious, viral diseases, so the consultation of related specialists is required.
How to cure hearing loss
Depends on the type of hearing loss and its causes. Most patients can be treated conservatively with medications or a simple procedure (removal of the wax plug). If the auditory organs are damaged, surgery is performed, for example, to repair the eardrum.
The most difficult type of hearing loss to treat is sensorineural hearing loss. Treatment includes physical therapy, medication, and oxygen therapy. If the damage is severe, hearing cannot be restored, so a hearing aid is fitted to improve the patient’s life.
Today there are so many techniques for the treatment of hearing loss, good treatment results also for elderly people with age-related changes. There is no need to be afraid of getting an implant placed or having surgery.
Deafness treatment
Deafness, aka total hearing loss, is incurable. In Israel at a clinic “MDI”. we offer cochlear implants. It is a medical device that acts on the auditory nerve to compensate for hearing loss. Cochlear implantation is suitable for patients with severe sensorineural hearing loss.

"My children took me to doctors with my leg, but we have a lot of lunatics who can't tell us anything. When I found out that my sons wanted to take me to Israel for treatment, I protested, but it was expensive! But everything went quickly, replaced my joint, did not keep me in the hospital not one extra day. Prices are normal for such quality, I began to walk without pain. That's what smart doctors mean." -

"I went to doctors for several months, they could not diagnose me, as is usually the case with us. A friend advised me to come here, he had already been treated here himself. From myself I can say the attitude on 5 +! They ordered a ticket and found me a place to stay at a normal price. In the hospital they examined me, analyzed me, analyzed all kinds of devices and diagnosed me. I have already undergone a course of chemotherapy, and if I need check-ups, I will apply only here. And what would happen to me if I continued to be examined in our hospitals? It's scary to even think about -

Really enjoyed the MDI clinic. Great attitude towards patients. Applied with the problem of psoriasis (>10 years trying to cure and nothing helps). I was worried about how everything would go, as I was flying from another country, but before arrival everything was discussed with me: what to do, how much time of stay will be needed, cost, accommodation, absolutely everything and I was not so worried. Upon arrival I was met, driven to the hotel and was in constant contact with me. Also gave a local SIM card for communication and internet, drove and accompanied everywhere. Was in Tel Aviv for 3 days and during this time visited the doctor, did all the necessary tests and prescribed treatment. After leaving, I am still in touch with the curators and doctors to find out how the treatment is going, whether the medication is helping, my general health, whether I need to send more medication, etc. I am very glad that I visited MDI clinic, as it was the first time I saw the effect of treatment and that it actually helps. Words can't describe the emotions and feelings when you realize that you will finally be healthy and you can no longer be self-conscious about your skin, wear open clothes, put your hair up however you want, etc. -

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your concern. From the first contact to the last minute of being in Israel, we constantly felt cared for. Meeting at the airport, organization of accommodation, support during the quarantine, useful household advice, help in buying food, accompaniment to procedures and consultations with doctors, help in buying medicines, a clear plan of action and constant information about the progress of treatment - our stay in Tel Aviv was so competently organized that the whole treatment took place in an atmosphere of confidence, calmness and relaxation. There was no stress of being in another country, even though the reason for coming to Israel was not a fun one - my father's metastatic prostate cancer. Special thanks to Catherine, for her heartfelt attitude and involvement with us. Thank you so much! Success, prosperity and grateful patients!
