Bleeding In the Right Ear Posted: 12-20-07 22:20pm
my grandbaby is due to have surgery on the
31st . the doctor is going to put tubes in
her ear's, which isn't a big deal. my
question is my daughter - in - law has a
family history where they are loosing all
hearing in the right ear. my grandbaby has
bleeding in the right ear all the time.
when the doctor puts tubes in will this
stop the beleeding & will this stop her
from loosing her hearing?

It is possible that the tubes could
prevent that. It seems strange that there
would be just random bleeding in the
ear...I do not know the cause of that.
But if all the cases of deafness were from
the genetic formation of the ear and it's
inability to drain properly, yes I think
the deafness would be less likely since
the blood would not put excess pressure on
her inner ear.
There are many parts of the ear that help
us hear properly, so it would really
depend on what went wrong with the ears in
her family...low fluid, improper drainage,
missing an anvil.....whatever it may be.
