The outer ear includes the part outside the head and the ear canal. The eardrum is a small circle of tissue about the size of a fingertip at the end of the ear canal. The middle ear is the space, usually filled by air, behind the eardrum. The inner ear is further inside the head and is important for hearing and balance. Common ear problems include deafness, tinnitus and vertigo. Detailed out-patient assessment includes microscopic and photographic evaluation, hearing tests and often MRI scans. I do not sell hearing aids but can advise on their suitability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047f57b2e49e73c6e4a4c58/1615388495918-DNS9D1NIOI7KGEXQV3WO/nose.jpg ENT - THE HUMAN NOSE The outer part of the nose is made from cartilage and attached to the skull at the nasal bone. The inside of the nose is divided in to two cavities by a strip of cartilage called the septum. The inner nasal cavities are connected to other cavities called the sinuses. The functions of the nose are complex and include mucus production, smell and warming or moisterising air when you breathe. Common nasal symptoms include blockage, increased mucus production and snoring. Detailed out-patient assessment includes camera evaluation under local anaesthetic (endoscopy) and CT scans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047f57b2e49e73c6e4a4c58/1615388515098-0YU7PLGUSQ9PCM1DY380/throat.jpg ENT - THE HUMAN THROAT The throat is a finely tuned structure of tissues, nerves, glands and blood vessels. It is made up of the larynx (which includes the vocal folds), the larynx, the epiglottis and the uvula. The lymph tissues in the throat are called the tonsils. Common throat problems include tonsillitis, voice change, swallowing difficulties and neck lumps. Detailed out-patient assessment includes camera evaluation in the nostril under local anaesthetic (endoscopy). Where necessary, swallowing x-rays and ultrasound / MRI scans may be required. https://tonynarula.co.uk/nose daily 0.75 2021-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047f57b2e49e73c6e4a4c58/1618911086347-CA1D6GN46WJNQ94D8SRV/DSC_6891.jpg About - Consultant Ear, Nose, and, Throat Surgeon Educated at Epsom College, Surrey, Trinity Hall, Cambridge and Middlesex Hospital, London I qualified in 1979.
