Hearing loss is either conductive — sound cannot get through the outer or middle ear (wax, fluid, perforation, stiff bones) — or sensorineural — the inner ear or nerve is affected (age, noise, infections, sudden hearing loss). Many patients have a mix. The distinction matters because conductive loss is often curable, while sensorineural loss needs prompt treatment or hearing rehabilitation.
Dr. Sajid provides full assessment for adults and children, from ear-wax removal to hearing-aid advice and middle-ear surgery.
Ear examination under the microscope, then a pure-tone audiogram (the standard hearing test), tympanometry (middle-ear pressure and fluid), and where needed speech audiometry, OAE or BERA/ABR for infants and young children. Tests provide same-day results in most cases. An MRI is arranged for asymmetric or unexplained sensorineural loss.
Grommets for persistent glue ear in children. Tympanoplasty to close a perforated eardrum. Ossiculoplasty / stapedotomy to rebuild or replace stiffened middle-ear bones. Cochlear implant assessment and referral for severe-to-profound loss not helped by hearing aids. Each option is discussed with realistic expected hearing gain.
Painless, 20–30 minutes in a quiet booth. Children's tests are play-based and age-appropriate.
The audiogram and tympanogram are explained to you on the spot: the type of loss, degree, and which ear.
Wax or infection: treated immediately. Sudden loss: steroids started the same day. Fluid or perforation: medical trial, then surgery if needed.
If aids are appropriate you receive a written prescription and honest guidance on what to choose.
Repeat test after treatment to confirm improvement; annual checks for age- or noise-related loss.
Hearing test (audiometry + tympanometry): PKR 8000. Consultation: PKR 4000. Surgery estimates are provided in writing after assessment.

See an ENT specialist within 48–72 hours. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a medical emergency — steroid treatment started early gives the best chance of recovery, and the window closes within about two weeks.
Warning signs: not startling to loud sounds (infants), delayed or unclear speech, not responding when called, turning one ear towards sound, and teachers reporting inattention. Any concern deserves a hearing test — there is no age too young.
Not reversed, but modern hearing aids restore most of the function and reduce the isolation and cognitive decline linked to untreated hearing loss. Early fitting gives better results than waiting.
Usually not — it most often accompanies hearing loss or noise exposure. Tinnitus in one ear only, pulsating tinnitus, or tinnitus with dizziness needs proper investigation.
Dr. Sajid provides independent diagnostic evaluation and prescription, ensuring unbiased guidance for the best device suitable for your hearing profile.
