Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that patients often have questions about ENT conditions and available treatments. Below are some of the most common inquiries:

What are common signs of hearing loss?
If you frequently ask people to repeat themselves, struggle to hear conversations in noisy environments, or increase the volume on your TV or phone, you may have hearing loss. Our team can evaluate your condition and recommend appropriate treatment options.

What treatment options are available for chronic sinusitis?
Chronic sinusitis can be managed with medications, allergy treatments, or minimally invasive procedures like balloon sinuplasty. We tailor our treatment approach based on your symptoms and needs.

How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
Loud snoring, waking up gasping for air, daytime fatigue, and morning headaches are common signs of sleep apnea. A consultation with our team can help determine if a sleep study or treatment plan is necessary.

When should I see an ENT specialist?
If you experience persistent ear pain, chronic sinus congestion, difficulty swallowing, voice changes, or frequent throat infections, scheduling an appointment with an ENT specialist is recommended. Early intervention can prevent complications and improve your quality of life.

What causes frequent nosebleeds?
Frequent nosebleeds can result from dry air, allergies, nasal trauma, or underlying conditions such as a deviated septum. If you experience recurrent nosebleeds, an ENT specialist can help determine the cause and recommend treatment.

Can allergies cause chronic sinus infections?
Yes, untreated allergies can lead to chronic sinus inflammation and infections. Our ENT specialists can perform allergy testing and recommend personalized treatments to reduce sinus issues.

What are the signs of a thyroid disorder?
Symptoms of thyroid disorders can include swelling in the neck, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight changes, fatigue, and changes in voice. Our team can evaluate your thyroid health and recommend treatment options.

How is tinnitus treated?
While there is no one-size-fits-all cure for tinnitus, treatments such as sound therapy, hearing aids, and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms. Dr. Daube will provide customized tinnitus management solutions.

What can be done for persistent hoarseness or voice changes?
If you experience ongoing voice changes or hoarseness lasting longer than two weeks, it may indicate a vocal cord disorder. We offer voice evaluations and treatments to address underlying issues.

What is the difference between TMJ and an ear infection?
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders can cause ear pain, jaw discomfort, and headaches, often mimicking ear infections. Our ENT specialists can differentiate between these conditions and recommend appropriate treatments.
