Restore your hearing health and stop chronic ear infections
Dr. Karla Sanz evaluates middle ear conditions, chronic infections, and eardrum perforations to determine if you need medical or surgical management.
There are middle ear conditions that do not respond to medications and require specialized surgical intervention to prevent permanent hearing damage:
A tear in the eardrum membrane that does not heal after 3 months, causing hearing loss and frequent infections due to water entry.
Continuous leakage of fluid, mucus, or pus from the middle ear that does not respond to drops or antibiotics, indicating chronic inflammation.
An abnormal growth of skin behind the eardrum that acts like a benign but invasive cyst, eroding the tiny hearing bones (ossicles).
Accumulation of thick fluid in the middle ear (recurrent serous otitis media) that blocks hearing. Very common in children with speech delays.
The middle ear is not an isolated cavity: it is connected directly to the back of the nose through the Eustachian tube. Therefore, chronic nasal obstruction, poorly managed allergic rhinitis, or swollen adenoids are often the true cause of abnormal pressures, fluid accumulation, and eardrum perforations.
Dr. Karla Sanz offers a comprehensive approach to the unified airway. By treating the nose and ear together, the goal is to optimize Eustachian tube function, reducing the risk of complications or recurrent fluid buildup.

The final cost of ear surgical procedures is determined after a personalized medical evaluation in the office. This depends on the complexity of each case and the selected hospital option.
The estimated budget includes the medical fees of the specialist team and the costs of the certified hospital where the procedure is scheduled.
In-person Consultation Notice: The WhatsApp channel is strictly administrative for booking appointments and requesting cost information. For medical ethics and legal compliance, diagnoses or prescriptions are not provided remotely without an in-person evaluation.
Microscopic or endoscopic evaluation of the ear canal and eardrum to assess the size and status of the perforation.
Essential audiological tests to measure real hearing levels and verify the mechanical function of the middle ear.
Explanation of the indicated type of surgery (microscopic or endoscopic), preoperative care, and delivery of the hospital budget.
Clinical evaluation to determine the feasibility of repairing a perforated eardrum using grafts, aiming to prevent recurrent infections and improve hearing.
Study and diagnosis of the mastoid region in cases of suspected cholesteatoma or chronic bone infections requiring deep cleaning.
Assessment of the need to place small drainage devices (tympanostomy tubes) in the eardrum to equalize pressure and drain accumulated fluid.
Study of stapes bone stiffness to determine if the patient is a candidate for a reconstructive procedure (stapedectomy) to restore hearing.
The doctor clinically evaluates your ear and reviews audiometry tests to confirm if you are a candidate for surgery.
Blood tests and pre-anesthesia evaluation are requested to ensure maximum safety in the operating room.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in a certified hospital. Most cases are outpatient, allowing you to go home the same day.
Regular follow-up appointments in the office to monitor graft healing and provide medical clearance, typically between the 4th and 6th week.
