Diagnostic Services

• Audiological and Vestibular Testing

More advanced hearing tests help determine the type and severity of hearing loss. Middle ear function and neural responses to altered sound will be measured using specialised tests such as pure-tone audiometry and tympanometry. Monitoring these data provides valuable information for diagnosing hearing disorders and planning appropriate treatment.

• Endoscopic Nasal and Laryngeal Evaluations

High-definition fixed and flexible endoscopes provide clear, magnified views of the nasal passages, sinuses, and vocal cords. These examinations help identify structural defects, polyps and tissue changes that may not be detected during a routine physical examination.

• Sleep Studies and Airway Assessment

Detailed airway evaluations are necessary for chronic snoring and OSA. Sleep studies are used to follow oxygen levels, breathing pauses, and muscle activity throughout the night, to determine where the airway collapses.

• Allergy and Metabolic Testing

Environmental or food allergies are usually the cause of frequent nasal problems. Skin prick tests and blood tests help identify the allergens responsible for tissue inflammation, enabling personalised allergy management and prevention strategies. It is managed by allergy avoidance and immunotherapy.

The department also provides a comprehensive range of advanced diagnostic and functional assessment services, including:

• Videonystagmography (VNG)
• Speech Audiometry
• Skin Prick Testing for Allergy
• Dynamic Visual Acuity
• Hearing Assessment
• Fibre Optic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)
• Tinnitogram
• Caloric Test
• Video Stroboscopy and Narrow Band Imaging
• Stabilometry
• Hearing Function Tests
• Bilateral Vocal Palsy Assessment
• Subjective Visual Vertical
• Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA)
• VNG-Assisted Manoeuvre for All Types of BPPV
• S.I.S.I. (Short Increment Sensitivity Index)

• Impedance Audiometry
• Functional Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT)
• T.D.T. (Tone Decay Test)
• Positional Test
• A.B.L.B. (Alternate Binaural Loudness Balance).

• Ear and Hearing Management

The department provides personalised medical treatments for chronic ear infections, perforated eardrums, and hearing loss, as well as microsurgical procedures. For persistent ear discharge and hearing loss, highly precise microscopic surgeries performed by an ENT Doctor in Hyderabad enable the restoration of sound conduction and the repair of middle ear structures. 

• Advanced Sinus and Nasal Interventions

FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) is a surgical procedure performed on patients with chronic sinus blockages that are unresponsive to medical treatment. A patient with a deviated septum or nasal polyps visiting the Nose Doctor in Hyderabad will undergo minimally invasive surgery to improve long-term nasal breathing and drainage. 

• Throat and Voice Disorders

Through speech and voice therapy, the team focuses on patients with voice disorders and chronic tonsillitis, along with patients with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Patients seeking a Throat Specialist in Hyderabad receive laser-assisted treatments and speech therapy to restore voice quality. 

• Head and Neck Oncology

Specialists perform operations for both benign and malignant tumours of the thyroid, salivary glands and oral cavity while maintaining the important function and cosmetic outcome. 

• Paediatric Otolaryngology

The department treats congenital airway diseases, large tonsils, and middle ear fluid using child-specific medical and surgical therapies.

The department also offers a wide range of specialised ENT procedures and rehabilitative services, including:

• Functional Endoscopic Surgery of Sinus (FESS)

ENT disorders do not disappear after an outpatient procedure or surgical discharge. The outcome of a condition is either complete resolution or recurrence, and depends on long-term habit modification and consistent monitoring. Apollo Hospitals Hyderabad offers continuous, well-laid-out rehabilitative care, which covers the following: 

• Virtual reality rehabilitation
• Organ-targeted vestibular rehabilitation therapy
• Post-thyroid surgery, personalised speech and swallow therapies.
• Adjustments and maintenance for hearing aids or implants as needed.
• Extended allergy monitoring and desensitisation schedules.
• Endoscopic follow-up of recurrent sinus polyps.
• Targeted exercises to clear up long-term balance and inner ear problems.

For patients suffering from chronic sinus or voice problems, home management can be just as significant as the management received at their appointments. 

Medical Equipment and Systems

• High-Definition ENT Endoscopes: Cutting-edge optical systems detect structural abnormalities, tissue changes, and deep sinus blockages before conditions progress.
• Modern Surgical Microscopes: The operating rooms are equipped with high-magnification microscopes, which surgeons use to safely perform complex inner ear reconstructive surgery.
