Ear Surgery in Istanbul
Fluid, pressure and infections behind the eardrum are treatable — starting with a careful look and an honest plan.
Is ear surgery right for you?
Middle-ear problems rarely announce themselves loudly. They muffle your hearing, block your ears on flights, ache during colds and keep coming back just when you thought they were gone.
- Middle-ear infections that keep recurring
- Fluid behind the eardrum that muffles hearing
- Pressure and pain when flying or diving
- A feeling of fullness in the ear that will not clear
The most common procedure is ear tube surgery: a tiny ventilation tube placed in the eardrum lets air in and fluid out, relieving the pressure and breaking the cycle of infection.
What to expect at your visit
Dr. Teker examines your ears under magnification, talks through your hearing and your history, and shows you what he sees. The options run from watchful waiting to a ventilation tube — and he will tell you honestly which is right for you.
When a tube is needed, it is typically a short, same-day procedure. Dr. Teker will explain each step beforehand, so nothing about the day surprises you.

Ear surgery — your questions
What does an ear tube actually do?
It is a tiny ventilation channel placed in the eardrum. It lets air reach the middle ear and lets trapped fluid drain away — which relieves pressure, gives hearing a chance to recover, and helps break the cycle of repeated infection.
Do adults really get ear tubes?
Yes. Pressure and fluid problems are not only a childhood issue — adults with persistent middle-ear fluid, pressure trouble when flying, or repeated infections are regular candidates. Dr. Teker will confirm at your examination whether a tube would help you.
Is the procedure painful?
You should not feel pain during the procedure itself — it is performed under anesthesia suited to you. Dr. Teker explains exactly what to expect, step by step, before anything happens.
