ENT (Otorhinolaryngology)

The ENT department also known as Otorhinolaryngology at IMH Dubai provides comprehensive medical and surgical care for conditions affecting the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck. These interconnected systems are essential for hearing, balance, breathing, speech, swallowing, and overall quality of life. In the UAE, where environmental factors such as dust exposure, allergies, air conditioning, and recurrent upper respiratory infections are common, ENT conditions affect both adults and children across all age groups.

IMH’s ENT Department is designed to deliver accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and long-term management of a wide range of acute and chronic ENT disorders. Care is provided by experienced ENT specialists using evidence-based protocols and modern diagnostic tools, with treatment plans tailored to each patient’s symptoms, medical history, and functional needs.

Ear-related conditions such as ear infections, hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, balance disorders, and earwax impaction are a major focus area. Early hearing assessment and timely intervention are especially important for children and older adults, as untreated hearing problems can impact communication, learning, and social well-being.

Nasal and sinus disorders including allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal blockage, deviated nasal septum, and nasal polyps are highly prevalent in the region. The department offers comprehensive evaluation using endoscopic examination and imaging when required, with treatment options ranging from medical therapy and allergy management to surgical intervention for persistent cases.

Throat and voice conditions such as sore throat, tonsillitis, voice changes, swallowing difficulties, snoring, and sleep-related breathing disorders are carefully assessed. Specialized care is provided for professionals who rely heavily on their voice, with a focus on function preservation and long-term vocal health.

Pediatric ENT services address common childhood conditions such as recurrent ear infections, enlarged adenoids, tonsillitis, nasal obstruction, and hearing issues. Early treatment helps prevent speech delays, learning difficulties, and recurrent infections.

ENT surgical services include minimally invasive and endoscopic procedures, performed with a strong emphasis on safety and faster recovery. The department works closely with anesthesia, pulmonology, pediatrics, and sleep medicine teams to ensure coordinated care.

The goal of the ENT Department at IMH is to restore essential functions such as hearing, breathing, and communication improving comfort, health, and quality of life through compassionate, expert care.
