Diseases of the upper respiratory tract and their complications, infections, allergies, and external physical influences can also cause diseases of the nasal cavities, throat, voice organs, or auditory canals. RMC's trained ear, nose, and throat specialists can offer practical help.
When should RMC's ear, nose, and throat specialists be visited?
It is advisable to consult a specialist for recurrent upper respiratory infections that persist for weeks in children, persistent nasal congestion, open-mouth breathing, and snoring. The complications of common upper respiratory tract infections and the long-term management of otitis media require specialized expertise, as do tinnitus, hearing loss, persistent nasal congestion, and voice production disorders in adults.

Special attention to children
The joys of a full-fledged childhood can be ruined by a slow recovery from the complications of a seemingly simple cold, persistent tonsillitis, or regular allergies. If the treatments and medicines you've already tried have only provided temporary solutions, contact our ear, nose, and throat specialists.
Contact our renowned pediatric specialists here if you have a child under two with respiratory and hearing problems.
Unique solutions for middle ear infections in childhood
Inflammation of the middle ear is a widespread problem, which can reoccur every few years and affect up to 40% of children between 2 and 5 years of age. It's worth knowing that the condition causes discomfort and pain and inhibits inner ear function, which can lead to hearing loss and, if persistent, speech development problems.
RMC has introduced a unique, overnight surgical solution called a tympanic ventilation tube (grommet), which can provide a permanent solution for children with persistent, difficult-to-treat middle ear infections.

Audiological tests for clear hearing
Hearing loss and hearing deterioration are no longer just old-age problems. Daily noise exposure can gradually diminish our ability to perceive different sound frequencies, even at a young age. As this is a gradual change, most people do not even realize they have a hearing problem. If you think you don't have a problem with your ears, but others find it distracting that your TV is loud, have difficulties listening to a conversation, or experience persistent tinnitus, we recommend you visit our audiology clinic.
