Innovative, state-of-the-art techniques & surgical solutions.

At Farrior Ear Clinic, you get world-class skill, capabilities and today’s most advanced and effective procedures, including:

Thorough evaluation & advanced testing – Understanding your hearing or ear problem starts with state-of-the-art testing conducted by an experienced audiologist and a thorough medical evaluation by a world-renowned ear specialist.

Surgery to restore hearing – Today, many types of hearing loss can be corrected with microsurgery. Using advanced techniques listed below, Dr. Farrior has restored normal ear function to thousands.

Eardrum & middle-ear reconstruction – Dr. Farrior uses his own “sandwich grafting” technique, using a patient’s own bone tissue to reconstruct the eardrum with a success rate of 98% to 99%. This is often done in combination with reconstruction of the small hearing bones.

Stapes surgery – When a damaged or deformed stapes (stirrup bone) cannot transmit sound, Dr. Farrior can repair or reconstruct it to restore hearing. He performs more of these delicate laser procedures than any other surgeon in Florida... with consistently excellent results.

Surgery for the “chronic ear” – Chronic ear infections or disease can result in a perforated eardrum or skin cysts known as cholesteatoma, which can lead to hearing loss. Most surgeons remove disease and reconstruct the middle ear in two or three separate procedures. In 98% of cases, Dr. Farrior performs a single operation... with some of the best outcomes in the U.S.

Surgery for congenital hearing loss – About 20% of congenital hearing loss is surgically correctable. Patients with congenital or developmental deformities of the outer ear, ear canal, eardrum or small hearing bones often have normal inner-ear function. We call this congenital conduction deafness. By reconstructing the ear canal, eardrum and/or middle ear, Dr. Farrior can restore useful hearing for most patients with inner-ear function.

Cochlear implants – About 80% of congenital deafness patients have deafness related to inner-ear deformity or loss of receptor cells. For the segment of these patients who cannot benefit from a hearing aid, a cochlear implant can be surgically implanted to stimulate the auditory nerve directly, which patients learn to interpret as hearing.

Evaluation & treatment for dizziness & balance disorders – Dizziness, vertigo, Ménière’s disease and other balance problems are or may be related to the inner ear. Following thorough history, evaluation and testing, Dr. Farrior provides
complete treatment options, from lifestyle modifications and medicines to surgery.

Surgery for acoustic neuromas – An acoustic neuroma is a tumor on the nerve to the brain that is responsible for balance and hearing. Dr. Farrior works closely with excellent neurosurgeons to remove the tumor while ensuring your safety, hearing and facial function.

Hearing aids & assistive listening devices – We offer a comprehensive array of hearing aids and assistive listening devices to meet your individual needs. But we won’t compete with other dispensers for your hearing-aid business.
