Medical conditions that affect the ear, nose or throat can have quite an impact on a person’s health and wellbeing, depending on the degree of severity. At the Capstone Clinic, we treat a wide range of Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) conditions. Given our family medicine approach and the possibility of collaborations across specialities, we are able to effectively address the needs of patients. Children and elders require ENT care for varied reasons, and our ENT specialists, who are amongst the finest in Chennai, are well equipped to provide accurate diagnosis, best possible treatment and care.
Some common ENT conditions are hearing problems, inflammation of the middle ear, tinnitus (ringing sound in the ears), dizziness or vertigo, rhinitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, and so on. ENT issues typically start small and escalate to a chronic condition if not treated early. Availing medical advice and treatment at the onset of these symptoms will help control the problem and also help avoid spreading any infections that may be contagious.
A detailed medical history, followed by physical examination using laryngoscopy, rhinoscopy or otoscopy may be conducted, along with hearing tests like audiometry, X-rays and Ultrasound which can provide extremely useful insights into the root cause of the problem and can help determine the best course of treatment.
