Hearing pathologies
At Affidea, we are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of hearing disorders. Our team of specialists in otorhinolaryngology and audiology is committed to providing you with a comprehensive service to identify and treat any hearing problems that may be affecting your quality of life.
What are hearing pathologies?
Hearing pathologies are alterations that affect the correct functioning of the ear, preventing you from hearing properly. These problems can manifest themselves in different ways and have multiple causes, such as infections, exposure to noise, ageing or congenital malformations.
The main hearing pathologies include:
Hearing loss (hearing impairment): Partial or total, may affect one or both ears.
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears): Sensation of sounds without an external source.
Otitis: An ear infection that may be acute or chronic.
Presbycusis: Hearing loss associated with ageing.
Vertigo: Imbalance related to problems in the inner ear.
Otosclerosis: Hardening of the ossicles of the ear causing hearing loss.
What is our hearing diagnostic service like?
Initial consultation: We assess your symptoms, medical history and perform a detailed physical examination.
Hearing tests: We use audiometry and other advanced tests to measure your hearing and determine the type and degree of hearing loss.
Accurate diagnosis: We identify the cause of the hearing pathology, whether it is damage to the inner ear, middle ear or auditory nerves.
Personalised treatment plan: We design a treatment plan that may include hearing aids, medication, therapies or, in some cases, surgery to correct the hearing problem.
Why is it important to treat hearing disorders early?
Detecting and treating hearing disorders early is essential to avoid more serious complications, such as:
Difficulty communicating
Social isolation
Cognitive problems
Impact on work or school performance
By treating these conditions early, you can improve your ability to hear and, in many cases, restore your hearing.

At Affidea, we offer a wide range of treatments for hearing disorders, including:
Hearing aids and advanced hearing devices
Ear surgery: For cases of otosclerosis, chronic otitis or other structural problems.
Aural rehabilitation therapies: Training to improve understanding and adaptation to hearing loss.
Tinnitus treatment: Sound therapies and other innovative treatments.
