Surfer's Ear Treatment Tour
in Osaka, Japan
We can provide safe treatment for surfer's ear at Oiki Ear and Nose Clinic, Osaka, Japan. We mainly use chisels for surfer's ear surgery to avoid sensory neural hearing loss due to driling noise. Moreover, chisel technique is a better procedure to preserve the skin of the ear canal so it leads to an earlier recovery.
We always try to discuss and confirm the diagonosis and pre-post operative treatment (including pre-operative examinations) for your ear with your doctor (ENT speciallist in your home country) before you come to Japan.
