Cholesteatoma

Cholesteatoma is an uncommon ear condition that can lead to difficulties with hearing and balance. It occurs when skin cells grow inappropriately in the middle ear, often as a result of repeated ear infections. Symptoms may include persistent ear discharge, hearing loss, a feeling of fullness in the ear, and sometimes dizziness. If you experience these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical advice to prevent further complications. Treatments typically involve surgery to remove the cholesteatoma and repair any damage to the ear, along with antibiotics if an infection is present.
