Can Adenoidectomy Improve Hearing In Children? πβ¨
Dr. Hatem Dalati Explains the Link Between Adenoids, Eustachian Tubes & Ear Health
If your child suffers from hearing problems, frequent ear infections, or glue ear, the underlying cause could be enlarged adenoids. π Dr. Hatem Dalati, leading ENT Consultant Surgeon at the ENT Clinic of Excellence in Dubai, explains how adenoidectomy (removal of adenoids) can improve your childβs ear health and hearing.
π How Enlarged Adenoids Affect Hearing
Adenoids are lymphatic tissues located behind the nose near the opening of the Eustachian tubesβthe channels that connect the middle ear to the throat. When adenoids are enlarged, they may:
π« Block the Eustachian tubes
π« Cause fluid buildup behind the eardrum (glue ear)
π« Lead to repeated ear infections (otitis media)
π« Cause temporary conductive hearing loss
π Signs of Hearing Problems Due to Adenoids:
- Complains of “blocked ears”
- Turns up the TV volume πΊ
- Speech delay or unclear speech
- Difficulty hearing in noisy places
- Frequent ear pain or infections
π©Ί How Can Adenoidectomy Help? Dr. Hatem Dalati Explains:
β Restores Eustachian Tube Function
Removing the enlarged adenoids allows normal drainage of the middle ear, reducing pressure and fluid buildup.
β Prevents Chronic Infections
Without chronic inflammation, your childβs risk of recurrent ear infections decreases.
β Improves Hearing Naturally
Once fluid drains and inflammation subsides, your childβs hearing typically returns to normal.
π¨ββοΈ Who Should Consider Adenoidectomy?
According to Dr. Hatem Dalati, adenoidectomy is considered when a child has:
βοΈ Frequent middle ear infections
βοΈ Persistent fluid behind the eardrum
βοΈ Confirmed hearing loss through testing
βοΈ Enlarged adenoids diagnosed by nasal endoscopy
π What Happens After Surgery?
Most children experience hearing improvement within weeks as their ears heal. Sometimes grommet (ear tube) surgery is done together with adenoidectomy for faster results.
