Ear nose and throat (ENT) medicine, also known as otolaryngology, is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating conditions related to your ears, nose, and throat, as well as some parts of your head and neck.
Our ears, nose, and throat are vital for everyday activities that we often take for granted, like hearing, breathing, speaking, and swallowing.
From common issues like ear infections and sinus problems, to more complex concerns like hearing loss, balance disorders, and even some types of cancer, there are many conditions that affect the function of these parts of your body.
ENT consultants are especially skilled in helping treat a vast range of ENT conditions through both surgical and non-surgical treatment options.

Your first meeting with a consultant ENT specialist is your chance to explore your healthcare needs with a dedicated expert. You can ask any questions during this consultation about your symptoms and what you can expect from your healthcare journey.
The consultation typically begins with a thorough review of your medical history and includes a physical examination of the affected areas of your body. Depending on the complexity of your condition, your consultant may order further tests—such as X-rays, MRIs, or blood work—to refine your diagnosis. Should these investigations be necessary, you’ll be asked to return for a follow-up session to go over the results. After a diagnosis is reached, your consultant will present their findings in a clear, accessible way and offer a range of treatment options for you to consider.
You’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions about these options to ensure you’re comfortable with the recommended approach.
When a treatment plan is agreed between you and your consultant, we will provide a transparent overview of the costs, often as part of a fixed-price plan.
We offer many treatment options with our leading ENT specialists. This includes:
A myringotomy (bilateral)
A myringotomy is a surgical procedure commonly performed in children to treat conditions like chronic ear infections or a persistent fluid buildup in the middle ear (also known as otitis media with effusion). The term bilateral means the procedure is performed on both ears.
During the procedure, your consultant will make a small incision in your eardrum to drain any trapped fluid or pus. Afterward, they will place a tiny tube (called a tympanostomy tube) in the opening of your eardrum to ventilate your ear and prevent more fluid from building up. This also helps to equalise pressure in your ear and reduces the risk of future infections and hearing issues. The tubes usually remain in place for several months and may fall out on their own as your eardrum heals.
Treatment for dizziness
Many ENT conditions cause persistent dizziness, which can be very distressing.
Dizziness is often related to problems in your inner ear, specifically the vestibular system, which is responsible for maintaining your balance.
Common conditions treated by ENT specialists include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which occurs when tiny calcium crystals in your inner ear become dislodged, causing brief episodes of spinning and nausea.
Meniere's disease also causes dizziness, which happens when your inner ear is blocked by an intense build-up of fluid.
There are many treatment options available for the conditions that cause dizziness, including specialist medication, physical exercises that help reposition the contents of your inner ear, and sometimes surgery to remove the particles.
Ear pinning (pinnaplasty)
Pinnaplasty (also known as ear pinning surgery) is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and reposition prominent or protruding ears.
This surgery is often performed to improve the appearance of your ears and boost your confidence, especially if you feel self-conscious about the shape or size of your ears.
Treatment for swallowing difficulties (also known as dysphagia)
Treatment for swallowing difficulties, or dysphagia, depends on the underlying cause and severity of your condition.
ENT consultants play a pivotal role in diagnosing and managing dysphagia, which can arise from issues in your throat, oesophagus, and nervous system.
There are many successful treatment options if you have difficulty swallowing. This includes specialist physical exercises and dedicated work with a speech and language therapist, as well as medication, alternative forms of feeding, and sometimes surgery.
If you’re struggling with an ENT condition and need help to alleviate your symptoms, we’re here to help with expertise and quality care.
