The ears, the nose and the throat have the same mucus lining, so a disease in one of these areas often has an impact on the other areas. In addition a disease of the ears does not only impair the hearing, but can also influence a person’s sense of balance and cause other health problems. Typical diseases of the ears, nose and throat are infections. Some will resolve by themselves, others need to be treated with medication. In other cases, e.g. chronic sinusitis, polyps or cancer, a more extensive treatment is necessary. If you experience problems with your ears, nose or throat, or if you would like to know your risk of developing a condition in one of these areas, an ENT check-up in Europe & US might be the right choice.
