Ear, Nose & Throat Unit 
The AMC ENT unit is dedicated to expanding the frontiers of diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the ear, nose and sinuses, throat and the anterior skull base.
The unit's excellence will be demonstrated daily through the sophisticated use of flexible and rigid endoscopes, video camera system, fine binocular microscopes and advanced KTP laser procedures. With the help of this world class equipment, AMC otolaryngologists will perform procedures like cochlear implant surgery, balloon sinuplasty, endoscopic cauterization in the epistaxis (hemorrhage caused nosebleed) patient and biopsies of certain nose and throat lesions. Foreign bodies in this region will also be removed with ease.
Clinical objectives are attained through close collaboration with the specialties of neurology, neurosurgery, pulmonology, radiology, anesthesia, internal medicine, allergy, radiotherapy, oncology and immunology.
Surgeries that will be performed in the AMC ENT Unit:
  •  Routine surgeries of the ear, nose and throat, head and neck
  •  Reconstructive middle ear surgery.
  •  Surgery of the facial nerve.
  •  Congenital ear anomalies.
  • Microlaryngeal surgery (microscopic detection and removal of polyps or tumors, for example, at the vocal cords and surrounding structures, and for performing biopsies)
  • Surgery for snoring and sleep apnea.
  • Thyroplasty (A procedure in which the cartilages of the larynx are adjusted in order to improve voice quality) 
    Septoplasty (the surgical correction of defects and deformities of the nasal septum)
  • Functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
  • Revision ear surgeries.
  • Laser surgeries for certain head and neck lesions
  •  Phonosurgery (surgical procedures that maintain, restore, or enhance the human voice).

AMC is proud to have a state of the art Audiology & Speech Therapy Center located in a modern sound treated environment. The following diagnostic and therapeutic procedures will be undertaken:

  • Hearing assessment suited to all age groups from one day after birth onwards
  • Pure tone audiometry
  • Speech audiometry
  • Free field audiometry, conditioned response audiometry
  • Behavior response audiometry
  • A wide variety of acoustic immitance (a certain electrical property of hearing) studies
  • Special Tests of Hearing
  • Various methods of loudness scaling
  • Tests for pseudohypacusis (a condition in which there is hearing loss without any organic etiology).

AMC will offer assessment, evaluation and treatment of voice, speech and language disorders:

  • A wide range of voice disorders
  • Fluency disorders: stuttering and stammering.
  • Articulation disorders.
  • Cleft palate speech rehabilitation.
  • Nervous system (neurogenic) speech and language disorders like aphasia (a condition characterized by either partial or total loss of the ability to communicate verbally or using written words), apraxia (the inability to execute a voluntary motor movement despite being able to demonstrate normal muscle function) and dysarthria (speech that is characteristically slurred, slow, and difficult to produce)
  • Therapy for dysphagias (swallowing disorders).
  • Delay in speech and language development due to hearing loss, mental retardation or autism
  • Development and childhood aphasias.
  • Maintenance speech therapy in degenerative disorders.
