Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT)

The ears, nose, and throat (ENT) are interconnected structures that play a vital role in hearing, breathing, and speaking. Conditions such as hearing loss, sinusitis, and throat infections can affect the health and function of the ears, nose, and throat.

Our ENT doctors also have advanced training in various subspecialties such as voice disorder, paediatric ENT, allergies, head and neck cancers, and sleep disorders.

What Does an ENT Specialist Treat

Common conditions ENT specialists treat include:

• Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
• Speech and swallowing disorders.
• Ear problems; hearing loss, vertigo, ear infections, tinnitus, and growths such as acoustic neuroma and cholesteatoma.
• Nose and sinus disorders; chronic sinusitis, sinus and nasal tumours, and allergic rhinitis.
• Head and neck surgery is performed to evaluate and treat benign and malignant tumours of the head and neck (salivary glands, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, lymph nodes, tumours of the oral cavity, nasopharynx, and larynx).

Importance of Early Diagnosis and Treatment at the ENT Clinic

Early diagnosis and treatment of ENT conditions at the ENT clinic can help to manage symptoms and prevent further complications. This can include medications, lifestyle modifications, and in some cases, surgery such as endoscopic sinus surgery and reconstructive surgery.

Regular check-ups and healthy lifestyle choices, such as avoiding exposure to irritants and maintaining good hygiene, can also help to prevent and manage conditions affecting the ears, nose, and throat.

Advances in medical technology have made it possible to treat a range of ENT conditions with minimally invasive procedures, preserving the health and function of these important structures.
