Conductive hearing loss is generally a mechanical problem, either with the bones of the inner ear, or the cochlea. It’s not a chemical problem, so medications don’t fix it. Surgery or a hearing aid is generally your only option. I dont’ know anything about your particular surgeon, but your chances of success improve if your surgeon has done similar procedures many times before.

Conductive hearing loss can be corrected by surgery not medication. Depending on what your condition is many times the surgeries are very successful. However sometimes they are not. Talk to your surgeon about the risks and possibilities. Hearing aids would also help. What kind of surgery does ENT want to do? Stapedectomy? Remove a Cholesteatoma? Find out and look up more info online. It is always best to get as much info as you can in order to make the best and most informed decision before undergoing surgery.
