The ear consists of the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. The ear canal, located in the outer ear, picks up sound waves from the environment and passes them to the middle ear, which amplifies them. The inner ear converts these sound waves into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for reception. Here are some common causes of itchy ears: Swimmer’s Ear: A condition that affects the outer ear canal due to constant exposure to water, particularly in unclean bodies of water like rivers and ponds, causing infection and making the ear feel very itchy.

All routine ear surgeries like Myringoplasty, Tympanoplasty, Mastoidectomy, Myringotomy with tube placement etc have been traditionally performed using an Operating Microscope(OM). Ear Surgery - The reason for the use of a Microscope Middle ear structures are very small and difficult to visualize with the naked eye. That is why a microscope is required so that a magnified view of the operated object can be obtained. This helps in the accuracy of the surgery and also prevents complications. The advantages of an Operating Microscope View is magnified with good lighting and vision The operators’ hands are free - both the hands are free to perform the surgery. The problems with an OM (Operating Microscope) are :- The microscope can see only in a straight line- along the sight of vision. In this situation some important structures/ disease elements remain hidden from view. Bec
