Introduction
Hello, I’m Dr. M. Deepanand, ENT specialist (D.L.O.) at Kavan Hospital. I want to tell you how ear, nose, and throat issues—if left untreated—can affect more than just discomfort. Chronic sinusitis, recurrent tonsillitis, persistent nasal congestion, or progressive hearing loss can disturb sleep, breathing, speech, and quality of life.
At Kavan Hospital, we offer full-spectrum ENT care in Dharmapuri and Harur with modern diagnostic tools, minimally invasive endoscopic sinus surgery, microscopic ear surgery, and personalized follow-up. My aim is simple: restore your natural hearing, breathing, and voice function, reduce recurrence, and help you return to daily life with comfort and confidence.
What is ENT Care?
As an ENT specialist, I treat medical and surgical conditions of the ear, nose, and throat (otolaryngology). These organs are deeply connected: nasal congestion can affect sinus drainage, voice or swallowing issues can reflect throat pathology, and inner ear problems can trigger balance or hearing loss. ENT care is about diagnosing these interconnected issues accurately and treating them in a way that restores natural function, prevents long-term damage, and improves your quality of life.
At Kavan Hospital, our ENT services include hearing loss evaluation and management, endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis or nasal polyps, microscopic ear surgery (tympanoplasty, ossicle reconstruction, mastoid surgery), tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, and both medical and surgical allergy management. Whether you are a child with recurrent ear infections or an adult with persistent sinus headaches, we offer tailored care that balances minimally invasive techniques with safety and effectiveness.
- Comprehensive otolaryngology services
- Hearing loss diagnosis and management
- Endoscopic sinus surgery for sinusitis, nasal polyps, and nasal obstruction
- Microscopic ear surgery to preserve hearing and restore anatomy
- Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for pediatric ENT issues
When Do ENT Problems Occur?
I often see ENT issues triggered by multiple factors—viral or bacterial infections, environmental allergies (especially in regions like Dharmapuri and Harur), seasonal pollen fluctuations, pollution, and structural abnormalities like a deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps or Eustachian tube dysfunction. Children may present with enlarged tonsils or adenoids, chronic otitis media, or glue ear, while adults more commonly face chronic sinusitis, hearing loss, nasal obstruction, snoring or sleep-disordered breathing, and vocal strain.
A common pattern I observe: a patient in Dharmapuri presents with nasal congestion for months, takes over-the-counter decongestants, occasionally antibiotics, but never undergoes diagnostic nasal endoscopy or imaging. Over time, this evolves into chronic sinusitis, frequent headaches, loss of smell, and even sleep disturbance. Similarly, untreated ear infections in children or adults can progress to chronic perforation, cholesteatoma, or hearing loss. Environmental allergens—especially dust, pollen or pollution—also frequently trigger recurrent sinusitis or allergic rhinitis in our region, compounding the problem.
- ENT problems often emerge from infections, allergies, or anatomical blockages
- Environmental risk factors like dust, pollen, pollution play a big role
- Early symptoms include ear pain, nasal blockage, frequent throat infections, snoring, or hearing loss
- Delayed diagnosis can lead to chronic sinusitis, tympanic membrane damage, or persistent voice disorders
- Children often present with tonsillitis, adenoid hypertrophy, otitis media; adults more with sinusitis or hearing issues
Common ENT Conditions I Treat
In my practice at Kavan Hospital, the most frequent ENT conditions include chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps, hearing loss of both conductive and sensorineural type, recurrent otitis media or glue ear in children, persistent ear discharge, enlarged tonsils/adenoids in children with recurrent throat infections, and obstructive nasal breathing or snoring. Adult patients may also present with voice changes, swallowing difficulties, or sleep-disordered breathing affecting the throat.
Each patient is unique, so I don’t apply a one-size-fits-all model. For sinusitis, I assess whether medical management—antibiotics, corticosteroid nasal sprays, allergy management—will suffice or whether endoscopic sinus surgery is indicated. For hearing loss, I perform detailed audiometry, tympanometry, and microscopic ear examination to decide if intervention (medical, hearing aid recommendation, or microscopic ear surgery) is needed. Children with repeated tonsillitis or adenoid hypertrophy are evaluated for tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy only after careful assessment of risks and benefits.
- Chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, nasal obstruction
- Hearing loss evaluation and management (audiometry, tympanometry, otoscopy)
- Recurrent ear infections, otitis media with effusion, persistent ear discharge
- Tonsillitis, adenoid hypertrophy, snoring, sleep-disordered breathing
- Voice and swallowing disorders, pediatric ENT issues
How I Diagnose ENT Conditions
Diagnosis in ENT must be systematic and precise. I begin with a detailed medical history—asking about duration of symptoms, prior treatments, allergy history, exposure to pollutants or allergens, sleep quality, and hearing concerns. This is followed by a physical examination: otoscopy, nasal endoscopy, throat inspection, and, when indicated, nasal endoscopy to visualize sinus drainage pathways, and endoscopic examination of nasal polyps or septal deviation.
I always rely on a suite of advanced diagnostic tests: audiometry (pure tone and speech audiometry) to quantify hearing loss, tympanometry to assess middle ear function, CT scans or MRI of the sinuses when surgical intervention is under consideration, and flexible or rigid nasal endoscopy to examine the nasal passages in real time. In some cases, I order allergy testing or vestibular function tests, and voice or swallowing studies when needed. The goal is to understand not only the symptom, but the underlying anatomical or physiological cause. Only then can I design a treatment plan that targets the root problem and not just the symptom.
- Comprehensive medical history (symptom duration, allergy/environmental triggers, prior interventions)
- Otoscopic and nasal endoscopic examination
- Audiometry and tympanometry for hearing and middle ear assessment
- Imaging (CT or MRI) when surgery is considered
- Allergy testing, vestibular function testing, or voice/swallow studies as needed
How ENT Conditions Are Treated
Treatment strategy depends on the diagnosis and severity of your condition. For milder or early cases of sinusitis or allergic rhinitis, medical management with nasal corticosteroid sprays, saline irrigation, allergy control, and antibiotics may be effective. However, if nasal obstruction or sinus infection is chronic or associated with nasal polyps, I recommend endoscopic sinus surgery to restore natural sinus drainage, reduce recurrence, and improve breathing and smell.
In ear surgery, I favor microscopic ear surgery techniques—tympanoplasty to repair eardrum perforations, ossicular chain reconstruction to improve conductive hearing loss, mastoid surgery if required—because microscopic methods allow me to preserve as much of the natural anatomy as possible and maximize post-operative hearing outcomes. Pediatric patients with recurrent tonsillitis or significant adenoid hypertrophy may undergo tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, provided the benefits outweigh the risks. I also integrate hearing loss management—ranging from hearing aids, medical treatment, or surgical intervention—as part of a holistic, long-term plan.
- Medical therapy first for mild or early disease (nasal sprays, saline irrigation, antibiotics, allergy management)
- Endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis or nasal polyps
- Microscopic ear surgery for tympanic membrane repair, ossicular reconstruction, mastoid surgery
- Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy in selected pediatric cases
- Hearing loss management as part of overall ENT treatment
Post-Surgical Care and Recovery
After surgery—whether endoscopic sinus surgery or microscopic ear surgery—post-operative care is critical. I give patients detailed recovery plans: nasal saline irrigations, avoidance of nose blowing, careful management of nasal crusting, pain control, and sometimes antibiotic or steroid nasal sprays to reduce inflammation. Ear surgery patients must follow ear care instructions strictly—keeping the ear dry, avoiding water ingress, scheduling regular microsuction cleaning, and gradually resuming activities as advised.
I monitor recovery closely with scheduled follow-up visits, beginning with an early visit in the first week to check for complications (bleeding, infection, excessive crusting or discharge), then later follow-ups to assess functional recovery (nasal breathing, hearing improvement, absence of discharge, sense of smell, voice/swallowing comfort). In the region of Dharmapuri and Harur, we give special attention to the outdoor environmental exposures and high dust/pollen load as potential aggravating factors, and often recommend preventive measures such as indoor air quality improvement, allergy control, and regular follow-up to avoid recurrence.
- Nasal saline irrigation, crust management, and avoidance of nose blowing after sinus surgery
- Ear dryness, microsuction cleaning, gradual resumption of water exposure after ear surgery
- Scheduled follow-up visits to detect complications early
- Monitoring of functional recovery: breathing, hearing, absence of discharge
- Preventive advice for dust/allergen exposure, allergy control, and indoor air quality
Importance of Regular ENT Check-ups
Even if you don’t currently have severe symptoms, I strongly recommend routine ENT check-ups. Silent ENT problems—like early hearing loss, mild nasal septal deviation, small nasal polyps, or early sinus inflammation—can evolve slowly without dramatic symptoms. Early detection means simpler solutions and better long-term outcomes.
At Kavan Hospital, preventive ENT care includes periodic hearing screening (especially if you are exposed to noise, or have previous ear infections), nasal endoscopy for patients with recurring congestion or allergy symptoms, and follow-up of allergic rhinitis or sinus disease. Children with recurrent ear infections or adenoid/tonsillar problems are monitored closely, even when symptoms appear to improve, to avoid long-term complications. Lifestyle advice—such as managing indoor air quality, reducing dust exposure, and controlling allergies—also plays a major role in keeping ENT disorders from recurring.
- Early screening for hearing loss and middle ear disease
- Periodic nasal endoscopy for recurrent nasal congestion or allergy symptoms
- Monitoring of children with repeated ear infections or tonsillitis
- Preventive allergy management and indoor environmental advice
- Long-term follow-up to avoid recurrence or progression of disease
