Her iki kulağımda sorun vardı.solda kulak zarı deliği,östaki sorunu
sağda ise %90 total kayıpla karşı karşıya idim. erkan hocamı bir arkadaş tavsiyesi ile buldum. istanbulda sağ kulak için revüzyon ameliyatı olduğum doktoruma da erkan hocamı sordum. istanbul gidiş gelişin konforlu olmayacağını düşündüm.
Erkan hocamla önce bir ameliyat planı oluşturduk. önce sağ kulağıma sonra da sol kulağıma ameliyatlarımızı aşamalı bir şekilde gerçekleştirdik.
erkan hocam, %90 duymayan sağ kulağıma samba 1 dış cihaz olmak üzere 601bone-bridge kemik implant takarak duymamı sağladı.Şu an alışma süreci içindeyim.eskiye göre duymam normal insanki kadar.
ekim-kasım aylarında sol kulağımda da üşütme ile gelen bir enfeksiyon sonucu işitme kaybı oluşmuştu. solda östaki fonksiyonu yetersizliği ve valvasa manevrası sonrası zorlamam sonucu kulağımda delik oluşmuştu. Erkam hocam tek bir ameliyatla hem kulak deliğini kulak kepçesinden aldığı zar ile kapadı hem de östaki fonsiyon bozukluğunu yeni çıkan bir yöntemle çözdü.burundaki eti de aynı ameliyatta aldı.
erkan hocam insani bir kişiğe sahip,insana değer veren bir doktor.ameliyatla bana yaşama sevincimi tekrar verdiği için teşekür ederim.
Isitme kaybim vardi kemik implant ameliyati oldum cok basarili gecti doktorumuz gayet iyi sevecen ve mütevazi bit kisilige sahip ameliyatta ustune tanimam...
