General ENT medical care

It is often thought that the range of specialty for ENTs is narrowly limited to these four things, without realizing how wide this range actually is. These four areas of the head and neck include all of the sensation organs in your ears, nose, and tongue. Organs and nerves that control your hearing, smell, taste, as well as the ability to chew and swallow food also fall into the care of otorhinolaryngology, alongside your motor organs that answer for balance and movement (the inner ear) and your oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx, which are responsible for your ability to speak and articulate. The defensive range covered by ENT care also includes the thyroid gland (the organ that secretes hormones) and salivary glands such as the parotid gland and submandibular gland.

In addition to examining the ears, nose, and throat with a head lamp, we can also perform more detailed examinations with a microscope or high-resolution endoscope. At our clinic, we go beyond manual examination by having on-site equipment for observation of nystagmus using an infrared CCD camera. There is also a conebeam CT, center of gravity sway meter and other equipment on site at the clinic, as well as a bloodwork laboratory located on the same floor, which allows for more accurate and quick diagnosis. In most cases, you can get your diagnosis and begin treatment at the time of your first visit.
