1. Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed, unhurried consultation with one of our ENT consultants. We ask about your symptoms – whether it is persistent nasal blockage, earache, hearing loss, or a change in your voice – and take a thorough medical history. We encourage you to ask any questions, no matter how small.
2. Diagnosis
We use modern diagnostic tools available right here at Ibn Sina Hospital, including nasal endoscopy (flexible and rigid), microscopic ear examination, pure-tone audiometry (hearing tests), and imaging such as CT or MRI scans. These help us pinpoint the exact cause of your symptoms quickly and accurately.
3. Treatment
Your treatment is tailored to your condition. It may include medications, nasal sprays, or lifestyle modifications. For surgical cases, we offer advanced procedures such as endoscopic sinus surgery, microscopic ear surgeries (tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy), tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and head-and-neck tumour resections – all performed with modern techniques to minimise pain and speed up recovery.
4. Follow-up
Post-treatment, we schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your healing, check hearing improvement, or adjust medications. We are committed to your long-term well-being and remain accessible to address any concerns even after your discharge.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I book an appointment with an ENT specialist at Ibn Sina Hospital?
You can book an appointment by calling our hospital reception, visiting us in person, or using our online appointment portal. Our friendly staff will help you find a convenient time with the doctor best suited to your condition.
Do you treat tonsillitis and perform tonsillectomies for children?
Yes. We manage both acute and recurrent tonsillitis with medical therapy, and we offer tonsillectomy (surgical removal) when indicated – especially in children who suffer from frequent throat infections or breathing problems during sleep. The surgery is performed under safe anaesthesia with modern techniques for minimal discomfort.
Do you have hearing tests and hearing aid services?
Absolutely. We have a dedicated audiology facility with pure-tone audiometry and tympanometry for accurate hearing assessment. Based on the results, our ENT consultants can advise on medical management, surgical options, or refer you for appropriate hearing aid evaluation.
Does health insurance cover ENT surgeries and treatments?
Yes. We accept most major health insurance policies and offer cashless treatment for eligible patients. Our billing team will assist you with all necessary paperwork. Please bring your insurance card and valid ID at the time of admission.
What should I do if my child puts a small object (bead, peanut) in their nose or ear, or if I have a sudden severe nosebleed after hours?
Ibn Sina Hospital has a 24/7 emergency department with an ENT specialist available at all times. For foreign bodies in the ear or nose, do not try to remove it yourself – come directly to the hospital. For severe or persistent nosebleeds, come to our emergency room or call our helpline. We are always ready to provide immediate expert care.
