• Ear Conditions
  • Ear Infections (Otitis Media & Otitis Externa): These infections of the middle or outer ear can be either acute or chronic and are the cause of pain, discharge, and temporary hearing problems.
  • Hearing Loss (Conductive & Sensorineural): Hearing impairment from ear infections, aging, noise exposure, or congenital causes.
  • Tinnitus: It is the perception of sound in the ears (like ringing or buzzing), usually resulting from nerve injury, infection, or a disorder in the inner ear.
  • Vertigo & Balance Disorders (Labyrinthitis, Vestibular Neuritis): These are the inner ear-related issues that lead to dizziness, loss of balance, or spinning sensations.
  • Earwax Impaction: The condition is marked by a buildup of hard wax, which leads to blockage of the ear, discomfort, and temporary hearing loss.
  • Eardrum Perforation: A ruptured eardrum is usually the result of either infection or injury, which in turn causes pain and impaired hearing.
  • Otosclerosis: It is a condition marked by abnormal bone growth in the middle ear that affects hearing and is often treated with surgery.

  • Sinusitis (Acute & Chronic): The condition of sinuses being either inflamed or infected leads to their blockage, pain in the face, and difficulty in breathing.
  • Nasal Polyps: These are growths that do not have any cancerous potential but develop in the nasal mucosa and lead to blockage of the nose, snoring, and less sense of smell.
  • Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS): This is a condition where the nasal septum is not in the right position and, as a result, causes problems with breathing, snoring, and getting sinus infections.
  • Allergic Rhinitis: It is an inflammatory condition of the nasal tract that is allergy-related and causes the patient to sneeze, have a runny nose, and feel congested all the time.
  • Nosebleeds (Epistaxis): This is the condition where the nasal chamber gets occasionally or heavily bled due to drying up of the nasal mucosa, injury, or sickness.
  • Nasal Obstruction: It refers to difficulty in breathing through the nose and is caused by either structural or inflammatory factors.

Diagnostic Procedures Used in ENT Care

Diagnostic procedures in Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) department are absolutely necessary for the accurate diagnosis of different conditions that manifest in these areas of the human body. Ear, nose, and throat specialists, better known as otolaryngologists, heavily rely on various methods to point out the problem areas with respect to hearing and its related aspects like smell, taste, and voice, and also the respiratory system. The following are some key diagnostic procedures that are frequently used in ENT care:

• Audiometry: A hearing test that is carried out in a soundproof room and gauges the ability of an individual to hear sounds and speech at different loudness levels and pitches. This test proves to be helpful to the doctor in determining the severity and type of hearing loss in the patient.
• Tympanometry: The middle ear’s working is assessed through this test by taking its reaction to air pressure changes and measuring it. Thus, it detects the presence of fluid in the middle ear, ear infections, or a hole in the eardrum.
• Nasal Endoscopy: A small camera (flexible or rigid) is placed through the nose to get a closer look at the nasal cavity, sinuses, nasopharynx, and sometimes even the larynx. This helps in a correct diagnosis of sinusitis, nasal polyps, and cancer.
• Laryngoscopy: This is a procedure in which the laryngoscope is used to get a picture of the throat, larynx, and vocal cords from behind. It’s very important to inspect voice problems, throat pain, and swallowing difficulties through this method.
• Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs): A diagnostic test that detects sound waves emanating from the inner ear and can thus tell the health of the inner ear (cochlea). It is mostly utilized in screening newborns for hearing loss.
• CT and MRI Scans: The imaging techniques offer very precise and detailed pictures of the different structures in the head and neck region, including the sinuses, nasal cavity, and brain. They are used not only to pinpoint the location of the tumor but also in diagnosing sinusitis and the management of ear infections and their related complications.

Latest Technologies Used in ENT Treatments

The newest technologies that are being utilized for ENT treatments at CARE Hospitals are as follows:

• Robotic Surgery: Robotic-assisted surgery has made it possible to carry out very accurate and, at the same time, less invasive surgical procedures in ENT. This is especially true for complicated surgeries that include transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for head and neck cancers. During such operations, the robots provide the surgeons with better control over the movements and a clearer view, leading to a better result in surgery and quicker healing of the patient.
• Endoscopic Techniques: The endoscopic procedures are the ones that make use of very small and flexible endoscopes in a non-invasive manner to visualize and treat the problems in the nasal passages, sinuses, throat, and even middle ear. The use of new endoscopic technology has greatly limited the invasiveness of surgical operations, and thus the patient's recovery time is less than that of the previous classical open surgery.
• 3D Printing: Patients' individualized anatomical models, surgical guides, and implants are created through 3D printing technology, and it is gaining popularity in ENT more and more. These models serve as assistance for surgical planning, education, and training, which lead to better precision and safety of the procedures.
• Balloon Sinuplasty: This is a minimally invasive technique that is helpful in treating chronic sinusitis by gradual expansion of the sinus openings through balloon catheters aided by the opening of drainage and ventilation pathways. Compared to traditional sinus surgery, it has the advantages of shorter recovery time and lower risk of complications.
• Image-Guided Surgery (IGS): IGS is a system that brings together preoperative imaging like CT scans and MRIs with live navigation during the procedure to guide surgeons with very detailed and three-dimensional maps of the area to be operated on. This IGS technology makes the complex ENT surgeries, especially skull base surgeries, more accurate and safe.
• Laser Technology: In ENT, laser-assisted techniques are employed for a number of reasons, such as vocal cord lesion treatment, tumor extraction, and sleep apnea management. Compared to conventional surgical methods, laser technology has the benefits of being very accurate, causing less harm to the tissue, and promoting faster healing.

The CARE Hospitals have an immunology clinic as well in the ENT department, which is staffed with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic team dedicated to the correct confirmation and treatment of the allergies. The hospital has sufficient facilities for testing, and based on that, the doctors prepare an individualized treatment plan for each patient.

ENT Treatments & Procedures at CARE Hospitals

At CARE Hospitals, the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists utilize modern techniques like microscopic surgery, endoscopic surgery, and minimally invasive surgery to treat very difficult cases having to do with the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck without missing accuracy.
