Our outpatient clinics are equipped with clean, sterilized instruments for thorough examination. We use advanced video endoscopy technology to evaluate the ear, nose, and throat in detail. This capability allows us to document findings and provide visual demonstrations to patients and their families for educational purposes.
Our state-of-the-art video endoscopic equipment facilitates precise, minimally invasive surgeries on the nose, sinuses, and surrounding structures. High-quality video cameras and recording systems enable surgeons to perform delicate operations with increased safety and accuracy.
We use high-quality motorized microscopes for all ear and neuro-otologic procedures. These microscopes offer brilliant illumination and significant magnification, essential for the precision required in surgeries involving the ear, hearing apparatus, and adjacent brain structures.
For patients with airway allergies, our allergy tests provide valuable information about specific allergens to avoid, aiding in better allergy management. Testing can be conducted using either blood samples or skin prick tests.
Snoring is a common issue that can sometimes indicate sleep apnea, a condition with more serious health implications. We utilize comprehensive equipment during sleep studies to detect or rule out sleep apnea in patients with sleep-disordered breathing.
We offer facilities to evaluate patients experiencing dizziness, vertigo, or other balance-related issues.
Modern surgical procedures benefit from precise tissue cutting and sealing using lasers and radiofrequency technology. Our range of lasers and radiofrequency equipment, such as coblation, is used for bloodless tissue cutting and reduction, minimizing heat trauma to surrounding structures.
Implantable hearing devices are designed for those with conductive or mixed hearing loss, or single-sided deafness. While conventional hearing aids work for many, implantable devices may be more suitable in some cases. We can help determine if an implantable hearing device is right for you.
Our Cochlear and Auditory Brainstem Implant program provides implantation for various cochlear implants for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. Cochlear implants stimulate the inner ear (cochlea) electrically, while Auditory Brainstem Implants stimulate the cochlear nucleus in the brainstem. Supported by a dedicated team of surgeons, audiologists, and speech and language therapists, we have successfully treated over 700 recipients.
Our experienced team of audiologists and therapists at SpHear Speech and Hearing Clinics offers thorough hearing and speech testing, as well as habilitation services for both children and adults.
Early detection of hearing impairment in newborns is crucial, as it can often go unnoticed until later in life. We offer sophisticated tests to screen for significant hearing loss right after birth, with established programs at various hospitals.
Accurate diagnosis of hearing loss involves a range of tests. For adults, we conduct Pure Tone Audiograms, Speech Audiograms, and Impedance Tests. For children, our test battery includes Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR/BERA), ASSR, OAE, VRA, and Tympanometry.
Hearing aids are customized technical devices designed to meet individual needs. Our audiologists will guide you through the available options and fit the most appropriate hearing device for your specific situation.
Post-surgery, cochlear implants require activation and regular programming. Rehabilitative services are crucial, including Auditory Verbal Therapy (AVT) for children and auditory training for adults. Our experienced team of audiologists and therapists provides these services conveniently across our multiple clinic locations.
Our speech and language pathologists offer support for speech articulation disorders, language delays, neurological speech and language issues, stuttering, voice disorders, feeding and swallowing disorders, and speech and language rehabilitation for the hearing impaired. We also provide pre-school language groups and parent training.
