Comprehensive care for ent conditions

Deviated Septum

A deviated septum occurs when the thin wall (septum) between your nostrils is displaced to one side, making one nasal passage smaller than the other. Most people have some degree of septal deviation, but when it's severe, it can block one side of the nose and reduce airflow, causing difficulties with breathing and other symptoms. A deviated septum may be present at birth, can develop during growth, or can result from injury to the nose.

Nasal Deformities

Nasal deformities encompass a wide range of structural abnormalities affecting the nose's external appearance, internal architecture, or both. These can be congenital (present from birth), developmental, traumatic (resulting from injury), or a consequence of previous surgeries. Common nasal deformities include deviated septum, crooked nose, saddle nose, nasal valve collapse, and various aesthetic concerns such as dorsal humps, bulbous tips, or disproportionate size. Nasal deformities can be purely cosmetic or may cause functional issues like breathing difficulties, frequent sinus infections, snoring, or sleep apnea. Treatment approaches vary depending on the type and severity of the deformity, with options ranging from non-surgical interventions to various rhinoplasty techniques.

Chronic Ear Infections

Chronic ear infections, also known as chronic otitis media, occur when ear infections don't completely heal or recur frequently. These persistent or recurring infections affect the middle ear, the air-filled space behind the eardrum that contains the tiny vibrating bones of the ear. Chronic ear infections can lead to long-term problems such as hearing loss, eardrum perforations, and damage to the bones of the middle ear if left untreated. They are particularly common in children but can affect people of all ages.

Chronic Sinusitis

Chronic sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses that lasts for at least 12 weeks, despite treatment attempts. The sinuses are air-filled spaces behind your forehead, nasal bones, cheeks, and eyes that produce mucus, which drains into the nasal passages. When the sinuses become inflamed and swollen, drainage is blocked, and mucus builds up. This creates an environment that makes it difficult to breathe through your nose and may cause facial pain, headache, and other symptoms that can significantly impact quality of life.

Severe Hearing Loss

Severe hearing loss is a significant reduction in hearing ability that substantially impacts daily communication and quality of life. With severe hearing loss, conversation becomes difficult even with hearing aids, and sounds must be very loud to be heard at all. This condition can result from various causes, including genetics, aging, exposure to loud noises, certain medications, or illness. Severe hearing loss may be congenital (present at birth) or acquired later in life, and it can be categorized as sensorineural (affecting the inner ear or auditory nerve), conductive (affecting the outer or middle ear), or mixed (a combination of both).

Perforated Eardrum

A perforated eardrum, also known as a tympanic membrane perforation, is a hole or tear in the thin tissue that separates your ear canal from your middle ear. This membrane plays an important role in hearing by vibrating when sound waves enter the ear canal. It also provides protection for the middle ear from water, bacteria, and other foreign substances. A perforation can occur due to infection, trauma, or pressure changes, and may cause symptoms including hearing loss, ear pain, and drainage. While many perforations heal on their own within weeks, some require medical intervention.

Tinnitus

Tinnitus, often described as a ringing in the ears, is the perception of sound without an external source. The sound can vary—ringing, buzzing, hissing, clicking, or roaring—and may occur in one or both ears. This condition affects millions worldwide and can be temporary or chronic. Tinnitus is commonly caused by hearing loss, prolonged noise exposure, earwax buildup, or medical conditions such as Meniere’s disease. Early diagnosis and the right treatment can help manage symptoms effectively and improve quality of life.

Earwax Impaction

Earwax impaction, also known as cerumen impaction, happens when excessive earwax accumulates in the ear canal and becomes too hard or dense to remove naturally. This can lead to symptoms such as ear discomfort, hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness. Causes include overproduction of earwax, use of cotton swabs, and narrow ear canals. Timely treatment can restore hearing and prevent complications.
