The ear is our gateway to the world. Diseases can occur in various areas:

Outer Ear:   Ear infections, narrowing of the ear canal, deformities, earwax blockages, tumors

Middle Ear:   Middle ear infections, effusion in the middle ear, otosclerosis, conductive hearing loss

Inner Ear:   Sensorineural hearing loss, age-related hearing loss, noise-induced hearing loss,  malformations,  sudden hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo

Auditory Nerve:   Tumors (vestibular schwannomas or acoustic neuromas (benign tumors))

We help with modern methods:

• Hearing and balance tests, CT and MRI examinations
• Drug therapies
• Hearing improvement surgery
• Hearing aid provision, tinnitus therapy
• Implantable Hearing aids
• Cochlear implants for hearing-impaired or deaf patients

• Snoring & sleep apnea
• Changes to the external nose due to genetic predisposition, injury, or tumors

We offer individual solutions:
