Many ear, nose and throat symptoms settle on their own. An ENT opinion helps when symptoms persist, recur, or affect sleep, hearing or daily life.

Reasons to book an assessment

Hearing loss, ear discharge or ear pain that does not settle.

Nasal blockage, repeated sinus infections or loss of smell.

Hoarseness lasting more than three weeks, difficulty swallowing, or loud habitual snoring.

Any lump in the neck, or one-sided symptoms in the ear or nose, should be assessed promptly.
