PRP Injections for Hearing Loss

Dr. Vidyasagar Dumpala

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have gained attention as a potential treatment for certain types of hearing loss. PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood and contains concentrated growth factors that may promote tissue regeneration and healing. While research on PRP for hearing loss is still in its early stages, some studies suggest potential benefits, especially for cases related to inner ear damage or inflammation.

The procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient, processing it to isolate the platelets, and then injecting the PRP into the ear. Although more research is needed to establish its effectiveness, PRP therapy holds promise as a regenerative approach to address hearing loss.
