How I Do It: Repair of Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence and Near-Dehiscence.

Summary: Imagine hearing your own heartbeat or footsteps super loudly in your ear, or feeling dizzy when you hear loud noises. This happens when a tiny bone in the inner ear gets too thin or gets a small hole in it. Doctors in the Philippines tested a new way to fix this problem. They made a tiny opening in the skull and patched the hole using a small piece of bone wrapped in soft tissue. They did this for 40 patients. The amazing news? Every single patient felt better! Also, special ear tests showed improvement in almost 90% of them, and there were no major problems from the surgery. This patch method is a safe and great way to fix this ear problem.
