Hearing loss in children, clarifications in the field of audiology such as hearing loss, hearing loss, tinnitus to the fitting of hearing aids - learn more about treatment options and examination methods in the ENT practice Zug and the ENT practice Lucerne.
The diagnosis and treatment of children is a special focus of our ENT practice. Of course, we always respond to the needs of our young patients as well as to your questions and concerns as parents. The clinical pictures that we competently treat include hearing screening in newborns, the detection of infantile hearing disorders or a speech development delay. However, we also competently treat other childhood clinical pictures such as enlarged palatine tonsils, adenoids, infections or allergies.
The diagnosis of childhood ENT diseases places special demands on staff and equipment. We offer examination methods in the field of ear, nose and throat medicine with the latest technology and specially trained staff. Highly specialized examinations for speech developmental delays as well as brainstem audiometry (BERA) are performed in the Pediatric Audiology Department of the ENT Clinic Lucerne under the direction of Peter Oppermann, MD.

The treatment of patients suffering from hearing loss / hearing loss, for example hearing loss, and other damage to hearing or disturbing ear noises (tinnitus) is a focus of our ENT practice.
The therapy of advanced hearing disorders is often carried out by fitting a hearing aid, sometimes also by a partial replacement of the middle ear or by implanting a cochlear implant (hearing prosthesis for the deaf). Especially the fitting of the right hearing aid is often difficult and requires a very close cooperation with hearing aid acousticians. With appropriate professional advice, a good solution can be found for each patient.

Further examinations via another specialist discipline may be necessary, as dizziness symptoms can have many different causes.
