About the department

What ent specialists treat

ENT — ear, nose and throat, also called otolaryngology — treats blocked and runny noses, sinus infections, ear pain and discharge, hearing loss, giddiness, sore throats, tonsil problems, hoarseness and snoring. ENT surgeons work with an endoscope for much of this, so many procedures are day-care. Allergy is behind a large share of nose and sinus symptoms, and is usually addressed first.

When it is an emergency

Difficulty breathing or swallowing, sudden hearing loss in one ear, or a nosebleed that will not stop after twenty minutes of pressure needs same-day emergency care.

When to see a ENT specialist

These are the reasons people most often book this department. None of them is a diagnosis — that is what the consultation is for.

A blocked nose or facial pressure lasting more than ten days
Ear pain, discharge, or a blocked feeling that will not clear
Difficulty following conversation, or turning the TV up
Snoring with pauses in breathing, or daytime sleepiness
A hoarse voice for more than three weeks
Repeated throat infections, especially in a child
Tests and scans

What a consultation may include

Your doctor decides which of these, if any, actually answer the question — booking a scan before anyone has examined you often means the wrong scan.

  • Nasal and throat endoscopy in the clinic
  • Pure-tone audiometry (hearing test)
  • X-ray or CT of the sinuses
  • Tympanometry for middle-ear pressure
  • Sleep study for suspected apnoea

Surgical care

ENT procedures we perform

Conservative treatment is tried first for most of these. Each page sets out what the operation involves, the stay and the recovery.

Questions, answered

ENT — common questions

Usually not. Allergy treatment, nasal sprays and, where relevant, treating reflux clear most cases. Surgery is considered when a structural problem such as a deviated septum or long-standing sinus disease is what is actually blocking things.

Only for specific reasons — repeated documented infections, or tonsils large enough to disturb breathing during sleep. Occasional sore throats are not on their own a reason to operate.

Audiometry is usually available in the same visit, and your ENT specialist will often want the result before deciding anything.

Cotton buds tend to push wax further in and can damage the eardrum. Softening drops help mild cases; anything painful, discharging or affecting your hearing is better removed under direct vision in clinic.
