Not all hearing loss is the same.

It can affect people of any age and comes in different types, each with its own causes, symptoms, and treatment approach. Hearing loss generally falls into one of three main categories:
👂 Conductive hearing loss (caused by changes to the middle or outer ear)
👂 Sensorineural hearing loss (caused by damage of the inner ear)
👂 Mixed hearing loss (combination of both sensorineural and conductive)

One sip, one wrong move… and suddenly you are in a full-on coughing fit. Sounds familiar?

That sudden, uncontrollable cough right after swallowing water is actually your body’s way of protecting your airway. A small, leaf-shaped flap called the epiglottis usually closes over your windpipe to keep food and drinks from entering your airway. But if something slips through, your body kicks in with a cough reflex to clear the airway.

While occasional slips are normal, frequent occurrences could signal dysphagia, a swallowing disorder that affects the coordination of muscles in the throat. If left unchecked, it could lead to lung infection or pneumonia.

So if you are experiencing frequent coughing after swallowing, get it checked out with us:

Is your nose making breathing a daily struggle? A deviated septum could be the culprit here.

It happens when the thin wall between the nasal passages is off-center, making one side of the inside of the nose smaller than the other. This can significantly reduce airflow through one or both nostrils, leading to breathing difficulty, snoring or sleep apnea.

Septoplasty is the solution that realigns the nasal septum, so you can breathe easier, sleep better and enjoy a better quality of life.

Don’t let a crooked septum hold you back. Consult with our experts today to find out if septoplasty is right for you:

Although it is kind of gross, earwax buildup is not a sign of poor hygiene.

Your earwax is a natural and necessary substance in the ear. It not only traps dirt and dust before they can reach deep into the canal, but it also keeps your ears moisturised and prevents infections. So having some buildup is completely normal, not a hygiene problem.

It only becomes a problem when there is too much buildup, causing blockage and discomfort. In such a case, we advise you against digging it out with cotton buds as it will only push the wax deeper.

Instead, reach out to our ENT specialists for safe, effective ear care:

Living with a damaged eardrum can quietly chip away at your hearing and quality of life. But it does not have to be that way.

Your hearing can be restored with tympanoplasty, a delicate surgical procedure designed to repair a torn or ruptured eardrum. Besides restoring the integrity of the eardrum, it also improves hearing and helps prevent future infections from taking hold.

Don’t put up with compromised hearing. Reach out to us to find out if tympanoplasty is suitable for you:

Your eardrum plays a crucial role in hearing by vibrating in response to sound waves. 👂🥁

But sometimes, infections, trauma, or chronic ear conditions can cause a perforation or hole in this delicate membrane. That is where tympanoplasty comes in.

It is a specialised surgical procedure designed to repair a damaged eardrum and, if needed, reconstruct the small bones of the middle ear. This not only restores the eardrum structure but also improves hearing and prevents recurrent ear infections.

If you have been experiencing hearing difficulties or frequent ear discomfort, reach out for a proper diagnosis:

Singing in the shower can be a fantastic way to enjoy yourself and even warm up your voice. 🎤🚿

As it turns out, the warm, humid environment in the bathroom can offer some surprising benefits by helping to hydrate your vocal cards and even temporarily ease any mild irritation.

Still, it is important to note that while the steam in the shower can be soothing, it is not a substitute for proper vocal care. Consistent hydration and good vocal technique remain key for long-term vocal health.

Every time we hear an “Achoo!”, we find ourselves compelled to answer with a “Bless you!”. But why is that so?

This quirky etiquette dates back centuries when sneezing was thought to release evil spirits or signal the start of illness. A quick blessing is a way to offer protection and good health. On the other hand, coughing was often seen as a symptom of something already present like an infection, so it was not given the same mystical treatment.

Even so, persistent coughing or sneezing can signal underlying issues that deserve a closer look.

While it is true that sinus infections are more common during colder seasons, they can occur year-round. 👃💧

It is important to understand that illnesses are caused by viruses or bacteria, not by the cold weather itself. During winter, people tend to spend more time indoors, which increases exposure to germs. Additionally, dry indoor air can irritate the nasal passages, making symptoms more noticeable.

Environmental factors like allergies, pollutants, and indoor air quality can provoke sinus inflammation regardless of the time of year. Identifying and managing these factors is essential for effective sinusitis relief.

So if you are experiencing persistent sinus symptoms, let us help you get to the root of the problem:
