Specialised care and treatments offered
BALANCE ASSESSMENT (ELECTRONYSTAGMOGRAPHY - ENG)
The balance assessment via ENG detects inner ear disorders affecting equilibrium by recording eye movements triggered by head positions and stimuli. It's key for vertigo diagnosis.
- Symptoms / causes : Dizziness , vertigo episodes , nausea , or imbalance often necessitate this evaluation .
- Diagnostic process : Electrodes placed around the eyes measure involuntary eye motions (nystagmus) induced by positional changes , caloric tests , and tracking tasks .
- Treatment / management options : Results help tailor vestibular rehabilitation therapy , medication adjustments , or further neurological work-up .
- What to expect : The noninvasive test takes about one hour requiring cooperation but no pain ; slight temporary dizziness may occur during maneuvers .
Accurate identification of vestibular dysfunction through ENG supports effective treatment plans enhancing patient safety and comfort.
VIDEOSTROBOSCOPY
This specialized examination uses strobe light combined with video imaging to assess vocal fold vibration patterns during phonation. It's vital for diagnosing voice disorders accurately.
- Symptoms / causes: Hoarseness , voice fatigue , throat discomfort , or suspected vocal cord lesions prompt this assessment .
- Diagnostic process: A flexible scope equipped with stroboscopic light is passed through the nose or mouth , capturing slow-motion images of vocal fold motion .
- Treatment / management options : Based on findings , therapy could include voice rest , speech therapy , medication , or surgery if abnormalities like nodules are detected .
- What to expect : Generally well tolerated ; examination lasts about 10-15 minutes providing detailed insight into vocal health .
This technique enhances understanding of subtle laryngeal pathologies invisible on standard exams enabling targeted interventions .
POLYSOMNOGRAPHY (SLEEP STUDY)
A polysomnography test monitors various physiological parameters during sleep to diagnose sleep-related breathing disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
- Symptoms/causes: Loud snoring, daytime fatigue, observed pauses in breathing during sleep are common indicators prompting testing.
- Diagnostic process: Sensors record brain waves, oxygen levels, heart rate, breathing patterns, and limb movements overnight in a controlled environment.
- Treatment/management options: Identifying OSA can lead to therapies like CPAP devices or lifestyle changes improving sleep quality and overall health.
- What to expect:The study requires spending a night at a specialized clinic with monitoring equipment attached comfortably for accurate data collection.
This comprehensive evaluation is crucial for detecting conditions that impact restfulness and cardiovascular wellbeing significantly if not addressed timely.
TYMPANOMETRY
Tympanometry assesses middle ear function by measuring eardrum movement in response to pressure changes. It helps detect fluid accumulation, infection, or eustachian tube dysfunction.
- Symptoms/causes: Ear fullness, pain, hearing difficulty or balance problems may indicate middle ear issues requiring this test.
- Diagnostic process: A small probe placed in the ear canal emits tones while varying air pressure measures eardrum compliance.
- Treatment/management options: Results guide treatments ranging from medications to surgical drainage if needed.
- What to expect: It is a quick and noninvasive test causing minimal discomfort during the procedure lasting around 5-10 minutes.
This method provides valuable information about middle ear status essential for proper diagnosis and treatment planning.
NASAL ENDOSCOPY
Nasal endoscopy is a diagnostic technique that provides a detailed view of the nasal passages and sinus openings using a thin, flexible camera. It assists in identifying causes of nasal problems.
- Symptoms/causes: Persistent nasal congestion, bleeding, sinus infections or unexplained headaches may warrant this exam.
- Diagnostic process: A slender endoscope is gently inserted through the nostrils after topical anesthesia for visualization of internal structures.
- Treatment/management options: Findings can lead to medical management like nasal sprays or surgical procedures if necessary.
- What to expect: The procedure is minimally uncomfortable and usually completed within minutes in an outpatient setting.
This investigation allows precise diagnosis of complex nasal conditions that are not visible externally or by routine examination methods.
AUDIOMETRY
Audiometry is a fundamental hearing test used to evaluate a person's ability to hear various sound frequencies. It helps detect hearing loss and identify its type and severity.
- Symptoms/causes: Concerns like difficulty understanding speech, ringing in ears, or exposure to loud noises may lead to this assessment.
- Diagnostic process: The test involves wearing headphones and responding to tones at different pitches and volumes in a soundproof environment.
- Treatment/management options: Results guide interventions such as hearing aids, cochlear implants, or medical treatments depending on the cause.
- What to expect: The procedure is painless, typically lasting 20-30 minutes with immediate feedback on hearing status.
This evaluation is crucial for early detection of hearing issues, enabling timely support to improve communication and quality of life.
