Deafness is the total or partial inability to hear, which can be caused by damage to the inner ear, auditory nerve, or brain’s hearing centers. It can be congenital or acquired later in life due to infections, noise exposure, or aging. Treatment options include hearing aids, cochlear implants, or assistive communication devices.

The Naugatuck Valley ENT team can manage cholesteatoma through various methods. Typically, complete removal of the skin or cyst requires surgical intervention.
