Pretoria - Professor Mashudu Tshifularo and his team from the University of Pretoria have developed a pioneering surgical procedure using 3D-printed middle ear bones, for conductive hearing loss rehabilitation.

The second surgery will be performed on a patient born with an underdeveloped middle ear, effectively replacing the hammer, anvil, and stirrup -the ossicles that make up the middle ear. “I’ve gone through two surgeries already, I went to traditional healers but nothing has helped me. I have hearing problems and my right ear pains as well.The surgery can be performed on everyone including newborns.
