Pediatric Ear Surgery
Children are unique in the ear diseases that they develop and the unique nature of their diseases requires a personalized approach to each patient. At Iowa Ear Center we are committed to comprehensive ear and hearing care for children of all ages.
Pediatric ear surgery can be of critical importance when considering the critical role of hearing loss in the development of speech, language, cognitive, and psychosocial abilities. Hearing loss in children can be temporary or permanent. It is important to have hearing loss evaluated to determine the source of hearing loss and treatment options.
