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.
Ross Paterson, from Dunblane suffered from constant ear infections and was referred to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist in 2020.
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, such as meningitis.
