Dr. Shalabh Sharma

Dr. Shalabh Sharma is Senior Consultant and Co-Chairman of the Department of ENT at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi. His current practice profile describes 28 years of clinical and surgical experience in otorhinolaryngology, with particular emphasis on ear surgery, hearing restoration, cochlear implantation and endoscopic sinus surgery.

His qualifications include MBBS, MS in ENT, DNB in ENT, DLORCS from the Royal College of Surgeons of England and FRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. He also undertook cochlear-implant training at the Bionic Ear Institute in Melbourne, adding focused experience in advanced hearing rehabilitation and implant surgery.

Sir Ganga Ram Hospital lists endoscopic sinus surgery, cochlear implants and ear microsurgery among his main interests. His practice therefore covers chronic ear disease, hearing loss, cholesteatoma, sinus disease and selected head-and-neck ENT conditions. The choice between medical treatment, endoscopic surgery, microsurgery and cochlear implantation depends on examination, audiology, imaging and the underlying diagnosis.

His professional affiliations include the Cochlear Implant Group of India, Indian Society of Otology, Association of Otolaryngologists of India and Indian Academy of Otolaryngology. Patients seeking review should provide recent audiograms, tympanometry, CT or MRI scans when available, previous ENT operative notes and current medication details.

For cochlear-implant assessment, speech and hearing evaluations and prior hearing-aid history are particularly useful before treatment planning. Prior ear surgery records should also be included.
