It was discovered he had a cholesteatoma, an abnormal collection of skin cells deep inside your ear, which is rare but if left untreated it leads to serious life-threatening complications
A teenager who went deaf in his right ear after emergency surgery to save his life has become the first person in Scotland to get a revolutionary hearing implant.
The devastating impact was making life debilitating for the teen who said he was pulling away from social situations as interaction became tarnished with his friends due to lack of hearing.Ross’ dad John said: “Ross has been incredible in dealing with it all and has been really brave. He had to have the initial operation which resulted in hearing loss as we were told the cholesteatoma could perforate his membrane and cause meningitis and we could have lost him.
The teenager was offered a ground-breaking Cochlear Osia system which uses a special type of implant that goes underneath the skin. All you put on top is a magnetic microphone that sends a signal to the piezo-electric implant under the skin which vibrates and creates the vibration through the skull to pass the sound to his good ear.
“I like to participate in PE as much as possible, go to the gym, do fencing and I’m in the choir and this device helps me do all these sociable things.
