Our department manages the full spectrum of ear, nose, and throat disorders. Below are the conditions our patients ask about most often.
Sinusitis causes facial pain, nasal congestion, and thick discharge lasting more than 12 weeks. At Charak Hospital, we offer medical management and Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) — a minimally invasive procedure that clears blocked sinuses through the nostrils with no external cuts. Most patients return home within 24–48 hours and experience lasting relief.
Hearing loss affects people of all ages — from newborns identified by neonatal hearing screening to elderly patients with age-related hearing decline. We offer audiometry, BERA, ASSR testing, and where appropriate, cochlear implant surgery, which restores functional hearing in patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss. We are one of the few centres in Uttar Pradesh offering this life-changing surgery.
Sudden spinning sensations, unsteadiness, and nausea are often caused by BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), Meniere's disease, or vestibular neuritis. Our ENT team performs the Epley manoeuvre for BPPV and provides targeted vestibular rehabilitation to restore balance. Most patients see significant improvement within 1–3 sessions.
Recurrent throat infections, difficulty swallowing, snoring, and mouth breathing in children are common signs of enlarged tonsils or adenoids. We perform tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy using modern techniques that minimise bleeding and reduce recovery time. Children typically return to school within a week.
Loud snoring can signal Obstructive Sleep Apnoea — a condition where breathing stops repeatedly during sleep. Untreated OSA raises the risk of hypertension, heart disease, and stroke. Our team performs overnight sleep studies (polysomnography), manages OSA with CPAP, and offers surgical options like UPPP (uvulopalatopharyngoplasty) for selected cases.
Hoarseness, voice fatigue, and complete voice loss can result from vocal cord polyps, nodules, paralysis, or pre-cancerous lesions. We perform microlaryngoscopy under general anaesthesia to diagnose and treat these conditions precisely, combined with voice therapy for optimal recovery.
