ENT, formally otorhinolaryngology, is the branch of medicine that looks after the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck. At HCG Hospitals, Ahmedabad, the ENT department covers everything from recurring ear infections and sinus problems to hearing rehabilitation, voice disorders, vertigo treatment, and advanced ENT surgeries. The department combines ENT specialists, audiology, endoscopy, imaging, and surgical support within the same NABH-accredited facility to provide coordinated diagnosis and treatment for patients across Ahmedabad.
The ENT department at HCG Hospitals, Ahmedabad, manages a wide range of ear, nose, throat, balance, and voice disorders through medical and surgical care.
The ENT team manages hearing loss, middle-ear infections, perforated eardrums, tinnitus, otosclerosis, cholesteatoma, and age-related hearing problems. Treatment plans may include medication, hearing aids, or surgical procedures depending on the underlying cause.
Conditions such as chronic sinusitis, deviated nasal septum (DNS), allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, and recurrent nosebleeds are evaluated using nasal endoscopy and imaging support. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery may be recommended when medical treatment is not sufficient.
The ENT specialists evaluate recurrent tonsillitis, hoarseness of voice, swallowing difficulty, snoring, and throat irritation. Persistent voice changes are assessed using laryngoscopy to examine the vocal cords and larynx directly.
The department treats vertigo conditions such as BPPV, vestibular neuritis, and Meniere's disease through repositioning maneuvers, vestibular rehabilitation, and medication-based treatment depending on the underlying cause.

Nasal endoscopy uses a flexible scope to examine the nasal cavity and sinus openings directly. It helps identify polyps, structural abnormalities, inflammation, and sinus blockages.
