Hello, Ashif @ashifp Is your hearing affected in both ears? Or one ear but not the other? Does the hearing aid help you to hear better? Did the hearing loss happen suddenly or gradually over time? I'm puzzled by the pain you describe from the hearing aid. Did you get your hearing aid from a doctor? If yes, can you return to that doctor and describe the problem? I'm wondering if an adjustment in the hearing aid would help.

I am in the United States. My hearing was tested by a licensed audiologist in a doctor's office (otolaryngology). When the tests showed that I would benefit from hearing aids, I bought the hearing aids from that office. I can go back to that office whenever I want if I have problems with the hearing aids. There is no charge for these visits.

I am also puzzled by the surgery recommendation. A bone issue in the inner ear? With the temporal bone where the inner ear is? Do you or did you have an infection in that bone? It will be your decision, of course, and we are not doctors or medical professionals here at Mayo Clinic Connect. For me, surgery is a last resort and I try everything else recommended before I think about having surgery.

I hope questions will help you find a solution.

Blessings,
Helen
