Conditions We Commonly Treat

Our Haddonfield ENT and audiology providers evaluate conditions that affect breathing, hearing, sleep, speech, swallowing, balance, and overall comfort. Treatment recommendations depend on the cause, severity, and duration of the symptoms.

Chronic Sinusitis and Recurrent Sinus Infections

Sinus conditions may cause:

• Nasal congestion
• Facial pressure
• Headaches
• Thick nasal drainage
• Postnasal drip
• Reduced sense of smell
• Recurring infections

An ENT evaluation can help determine if symptoms may be connected to inflammation, infection, nasal polyps, a deviated septum, or another problem affecting sinus drainage.

Treatment may include:

• Medication
• Nasal therapies
• Management of contributing triggers
• Nasal endoscopy
• Surgical consultation when appropriate

Dr. Dandu and Dr. Gupta both list sinus and nasal care among their clinical interests.

Nasal Obstruction and Deviated Septum

Difficulty breathing through the nose may be caused by:

• A deviated septum
• Enlarged turbinates
• Nasal polyps
• Inflammation
• Chronic sinus disease
• Another structural obstruction

Some patients experience congestion on one side, while others have difficulty breathing through both nasal passages. An ENT specialist can examine the nose and recommend treatment based on the cause.

Possible treatment options include:

• Medication
• Nasal sprays
• Symptom-management strategies
• Septoplasty
• Turbinate treatment
• Another procedure when clinically appropriate

Ear Infections

Ear infections can affect patients of all ages, although they are especially common in children.

Symptoms may include:

• Ear pain
• Pressure or fullness
• Drainage
• Fever
• Temporary hearing changes
• Irritability
• Trouble sleeping

Recurring infections, persistent middle-ear fluid, or ongoing hearing changes may require evaluation by a pediatric ENT specialist or adult ENT physician.

Treatment depends on:

• The patient’s age
• Infection frequency
• Examination findings
• Hearing changes
• The presence of middle-ear fluid
• Prior treatments

Some children may benefit from ear tube placement when clinically appropriate.

Hearing Loss

Hearing loss may develop gradually or appear suddenly.

Possible signs include:

• Difficulty following conversations
• Trouble hearing in noisy environments
• Frequently asking others to repeat themselves
• Turning up the television volume
• Missing higher-pitched sounds
• Speech or learning concerns in children

A hearing evaluation can help measure:

• Hearing levels in each ear
• Speech understanding
• Responses to different sound frequencies
• Middle-ear function
• The type and degree of hearing loss

Results may guide medical treatment, monitoring, hearing aid recommendations, or additional testing. Sudden hearing loss should be evaluated promptly.

Tinnitus

Tinnitus may sound like:

• Ringing
• Buzzing
• Humming
• Clicking
• Whistling
• Pulsing

It can affect one or both ears and may be intermittent or persistent. Possible contributing factors include hearing loss, earwax buildup, noise exposure, medication effects, and other ear conditions.

An evaluation may include:

• An ear examination
• A hearing test
• Review of medication use
• Discussion of noise exposure
• Assessment of related symptoms

Treatment focuses on any identifiable cause and strategies that reduce the effect of tinnitus on sleep, concentration, and daily activities.

Dizziness and Balance Disorders

Dizziness can involve several different sensations, including:

• Spinning or vertigo
• Lightheadedness
• Unsteadiness
• Motion sensitivity
• Nausea
• A feeling that the surroundings are moving

An evaluation may consider:

• When symptoms began
• How long each episode lasts
• Possible triggers

Hearing and balance testing may help determine if an inner-ear or vestibular condition is contributing to the symptoms.

Sleep Apnea and Snoring

Sleep-related breathing problems may cause:

• Loud snoring
• Gasping during sleep
• Pauses in breathing
• Mouth breathing
• Morning headaches
• Daytime fatigue

An ENT physician can examine the nose, throat, tonsils, and airway for factors that may interfere with airflow during sleep.

Based on the findings, treatment may include:

• Further sleep evaluation
• Medical management
• Treatment for nasal obstruction
• Positive airway pressure therapy
• Lifestyle recommendations
• A procedure when appropriate

Dr. Dandu lists sleep apnea among his specific clinical interests.

Voice and Throat Disorders

Persistent voice or throat symptoms may include:

• Hoarseness
• Vocal fatigue
• Throat discomfort
• Frequent throat clearing
• Chronic coughing
• Voice weakness
• Pain when speaking

Potential causes may include inflammation, vocal cord conditions, reflux-related irritation, overuse, infection, or another structural problem.

An ENT evaluation may involve a close examination of the throat and vocal cords. Treatment may include medication, behavioral changes, voice therapy, or a procedure based on the diagnosis.

Dr. Gupta has a particular interest in voice and throat disorders.

Swallowing Disorders

Symptoms that may require evaluation include:

• Coughing during meals
• Choking on food or liquids
• Painful swallowing
• A sensation that food is stuck
