NOSE, THROAT AND SLEEP

Snoring and Sleep Apnoea

The source of snoring is examined at nasal, nasopharyngeal and throat level, and a sleep study is arranged where needed.

How the procedure runs

1
We listen to when the complaint began, how it has developed and how it affects daily life.
2
An ear, nose and throat examination is carried out, with audiological measurement and endoscopic review added where needed.
3
The right approach, duration and review interval for a snoring and sleep apnoea assessment are agreed together with the patient.
4
The procedure is completed, and the follow-up appointment and home care notes are shared in writing.

Where a child sleeps with an open mouth, snores or has frequent ear infections, the size and effect of the adenoids are reviewed.

Assessment of sinus inflammation presenting with facial pain, post-nasal drip and nasal blockage, and the building of a treatment plan.

Where hoarseness lasts longer than two weeks the vocal folds are reviewed endoscopically and a voice care plan is prepared.
