Frequently Asked Questions
How is hearing loss evaluated?
Through examination and hearing tests (audiometry). We can often determine the type and cause of hearing loss and recommend appropriate management.
When should children get ear tubes?
Typically considered for recurrent ear infections (3+ in 6 months or 4+ in a year) or persistent fluid affecting hearing. We discuss indications carefully with parents.
Can chronic sinusitis be cured?
Many patients improve significantly with medical management. Some require surgery for lasting relief. We explore all options before recommending surgery.
What causes frequent nosebleeds?
Often dry air, nose picking, or minor irritation. Sometimes underlying conditions contribute. We evaluate to determine cause and appropriate treatment.
When is tonsillectomy recommended?
For recurrent strep throat (7+ episodes in one year), sleep apnea from enlarged tonsils, or other specific indications. Guidelines help us make appropriate recommendations.
Why am I hoarse?
Many causes from laryngitis to vocal cord problems. Persistent hoarseness (> 2 weeks) should be evaluated to rule out serious conditions.
