Ear, Nose and Throat

Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) issues are common for many patients. There are a broad range of conditions that affect your ears, nose and throat, and some of these problems can have a lasting effect on your health.

Our Doctors

ENT physicians are also known as Otolaryngologists. Otolaryngology is the medical and surgical specialty for problems of the ears, nose and throat. Our Jefferson Surgical physicians provide a wide range of preventative and corrective solutions for patients of all ages.

Common ENT Issues

Ears

  • Ear infections: both adults and children can suffer from infections. Medical and sometimes surgical treatment may be required to correct this issue.
  • Hearing loss: this can be a hereditary or acquired condition. Once the level of hearing loss has been determined through an examination, corrective treatment may include hearing aids and occasionally surgery.
  • Wax impactions and ear canal dermatitis

Nose

  • Sinus Infections: depending upon the severity of the infection, treatment can include medical therapy, allergy therapy, endoscopic sinus surgery and balloon sinuplasty.
  • Allergies: for those suffering from severe seasonal and perennial allergies, ENT specialists may recommend treatments, such as allergy shots or sublingual allergy therapy (drops).
  • Blocked Nasal Passages: treatments for this condition can be both medical and / or surgical, depending on the severity of the condition.
  • Snoring and Sleep Apnea
  • Tumors of the Nose: These can  be benign or malignant, and once detected, usually require surgical removal.

Throat

  • Enlarged Tonsil and Adenoids: These can lead to recurring infections
  • Hoarseness, Vocal Cord, Speech and Swallowing Problems
  • Thyroid and Parathyroid Nodules or Tumors
  • Tumors and Infections of the Neck and Throat or Lymph Nodes
