Advanced Diagnostic Tools for Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT)
Nasal Endoscopy (Sinuscope)
A sinuscope is a small endoscopic camera inserted into the nasal cavity to detect abnormalities such as:
-
Chronic sinusitis
-
Nasal polyps
-
Deviated nasal septum
-
Masses or tumors within the nasal cavity
This examination allows physicians to clearly visualize internal nasal structures and record images for accurate diagnosis and follow-up evaluation.
Hearing Assessment (Audiometry)
Audiometry is used to evaluate a patient’s hearing ability, measuring both speech perception and various sound frequencies. It is suitable for patients with symptoms such as:
-
Ear fullness
-
Ear pressure
-
Hearing loss
-
Tinnitus
Test results help physicians determine appropriate treatment options, including hearing aids, auditory rehabilitation, or surgical intervention when indicated.
Middle Ear Function and Pressure Test (Tympanometry)
Tympanometry assesses middle ear function by measuring eardrum pressure and ossicular movement. It is useful for diagnosing conditions such as:
-
Otitis media with effusion
-
Eustachian tube dysfunction
-
Fluid accumulation in the middle ear
This test is non-invasive, painless, quick, and provides accurate information to identify causes of ear fullness or abnormal hearing.
Flexible Fiberoptic Laryngoscopy
Flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy uses a small, flexible scope passed through the nose to examine the throat and larynx, displaying real-time images on a monitor for precise diagnosis.
It is used to:
-
Identify causes of chronic hoarseness
-
Detect masses in the throat or larynx
-
Evaluate vocal cord and laryngeal function
-
Diagnose cancers of the throat and larynx
Additionally, patients can view the examination images together with the physician, enhancing understanding, confidence, and engagement in their treatment plan.
