The ENT Department at Joshi Hospital, Pune, provides comprehensive medical and surgical care for disorders related to the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck. ENT conditions can significantly affect breathing, hearing, speech, balance, and quality of life. Our team of experienced ENT specialists offers accurate diagnosis, advanced treatments, and personalised care for patients of all age groups—from children with recurrent infections to adults with chronic sinus or throat issues. With modern diagnostic facilities and evidence-based protocols, the department ensures safe and effective management of both common and complex ENT disorders.

Comprehensive Evaluation of ENT Disorders

ENT problems often present with symptoms such as ear pain, hearing loss, nasal blockage, snoring, throat discomfort, dizziness, and voice changes. At Joshi Hospital, each patient undergoes a detailed clinical examination supported by endoscopic evaluation and relevant diagnostic tests. Understanding the root cause helps us create an accurate treatment plan that provides long-lasting relief and prevents recurrence.

Ear Disorders & Hearing Care

The department provides complete evaluation and treatment of ear-related conditions. We manage a wide range of problems including ear infections, wax buildup, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), hearing loss, vertigo, balance issues, swimmer’s ear, and perforated eardrums. Our ENT specialists are trained in both medical and surgical treatments, including tympanoplasty, mastoid surgery, and procedures for chronic middle-ear conditions. We also perform hearing tests and provide guidance for hearing aids when necessary. Early diagnosis is crucial in preventing long-term hearing impairment, especially in children and older adults.

Nose & Sinus Disorders

Nasal and sinus problems can interfere with breathing, sleep quality, and daily comfort. The department provides treatment for allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal polyps, deviated nasal septum, nasal obstruction, recurrent sneezing, and chronic headaches related to sinus issues. Our ENT experts perform nasal endoscopy and recommend medication, allergy management, or surgical interventions like Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), septoplasty, and turbinate reduction depending on the condition. These procedures help restore normal airflow, reduce infections, and improve overall nasal health.

Throat, Voice & Swallowing Disorders

Throat-related issues can affect speech, swallowing, and personal comfort. We diagnose and treat conditions such as tonsillitis, sore throat, voice disorders, vocal cord nodules, laryngitis, and swallowing difficulties. For patients experiencing chronic snoring or sleep apnea, the department offers evaluation and treatment, including endoscopic throat assessment and surgical correction when necessary. Our doctors also manage acid reflux–related throat problems and provide lifestyle guidance for long-term relief.

Head & Neck Conditions

The department handles a variety of head and neck conditions, including neck swellings, thyroid nodules, salivary gland disorders, facial nerve problems, and benign or malignant tumours. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are essential in these conditions. We coordinate closely with oncology, radiology, and surgery teams to ensure patients receive timely and comprehensive care.

Vertigo & Balance Disorder Management

Vertigo and balance-related disorders can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life. At Joshi Hospital, the ENT Department provides specialised evaluation and treatment for vertigo, dizziness, and balance problems. Our specialists conduct a detailed clinical assessment to identify the exact cause of vertigo, including Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), inner ear infections, vestibular neuritis, and other balance disorders.

For positional vertigo, we offer accurate diagnosis through positional testing and provide repositioning manoeuvres such as the Epley and Semont manoeuvres, which are proven, non-invasive treatments that offer rapid relief in most cases. Medical management, vestibular rehabilitation guidance, and lifestyle advice are also provided when required. Early and precise treatment helps reduce recurrence and restores balance safely and effectively.

Paediatric ENT Care

Children often face ENT problems such as recurrent ear infections, enlarged adenoids, tonsillitis, snoring, hearing issues, and speech delay. Our paediatric-friendly ENT services include gentle examination, early intervention, and child-specific treatment plans. When required, surgical procedures such as tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and ear tube insertion are performed safely under anaesthesia to reduce recurrent infections and improve breathing and hearing.
