FAQ's
1. When should I consult an ENT specialist?
If you experience persistent ear pain, nasal obstruction, sinus infections, hearing loss, voice changes, or neck swellings, seek a specialist evaluation promptly.
2. Are surgeries always required for ENT conditions like sinusitis or tonsillitis?
Not necessarily. Many ENT conditions are effectively managed with medical treatment. Surgical intervention is considered when conservative management fails or complications arise.
3. Is endoscopic sinus surgery a painful procedure?
Surgeons perform endoscopic sinus surgery under anaesthesia. Most patients experience minimal post-operative discomfort and recover quickly.
4. Can allergies contribute to ENT symptoms?
Yes. Allergic rhinitis can exacerbate nasal and sinus problems, ear infections, and throat irritation. Managing allergies effectively starts with pinpointing the cause and treating it properly.
5. What types of hearing tests are available?
We provide pure tone audiometry, speech audiometry, impedance testing, and advanced hearing assessments. Hearing aid counselling and cochlear implant referral services are also available as part of our audiology support.
