Building A Missing Ear Canal In One Operation

Delaware rates for HCPCS 69320

Creates an ear canal in a person born without one, drilling a passage through the bone to the eardrum area and lining it with a skin graft so it stays open. The whole reconstruction is completed in a single operation rather than being carried out in stages, and it is often combined with work to restore the hearing mechanism inside. The aim is both to open the canal and to improve hearing on that side.
