Vertigo: When the world spins round

Feeling insecure when moving and dizzy are problems that occur very frequently — especially with older people. Usually, the cause can be found in the ear. If you often have attacks of vertigo therefore, it is essential to have the function of the auditory and balancing organs tested, and the first place to approach is ENT.

If there is a problem with function in these organs, vertigo often becomes history once normal function has been restored. If the problem is not to be found in the balance organs/the ear, vertigo attacks can for example also have neurological, orthopaedic or even psychological causes.

Tinnitus: Constant whistling

Everyone has noises in the ear — but usually only for a short time! But if the ringing, whistling or humming is constant and lasts for longer than 2-3 days or is unusually loud, a visit to ENT is essential.

A hearing test can let us clarify if for example there has been a sudden hearing loss. Usually, however, noises in the ear indicate a reduction in hearing that has existed for some time or more rarely a malfunction in the cervical spine or the mandibular joint.

The therapies for tinnitus are as varied as the causes, which is why we offer a totally individual consultation in our ENT Joint Practice.

Snoring: Restless nights, health problems?

Snoring can be most unpleasant, particularly for your partner! But that's not the only problem — snoring can also be a symptom of disease, for sleep apnoea for instance. Tiredness during the day, poor performance and long-term internal medical problems may be the result.

It is therefore important to clarify where the snoring originates — especially if it is irregular. It is quite easy to find out at home whether this is the case. By the way: Every second person snores as they get older. This means that it is a particularly important situation if children are snoring, as their sleep is then often highly disturbed.
