HLA La Salud Hospital integrates the Otolaryngology service and the Audiology Unit in a single center. This direct coordination between the otolaryngologist and the audiologist allows for a more comprehensive care: if a pathology is detected during an audiological examination, the patient is immediately referred to the specialist. And vice versa: if the otolaryngologist detects that a more complex examination is needed, they refer the patient to Audiology without the patient having to travel to another center.
Being in a hospital environment makes a difference: any abnormality detected during the hearing test can be evaluated immediately by the appropriate specialist.
Hearing loss can appear gradually and go unnoticed for years. A common sign is starting to hear but not being able to understand words well, especially in noisy environments. An audiological examination is recommended starting at 60-65 years of age, at least once a year, and before if there is a family history of hearing loss.
Tinnitus —sounds or beeps in the ear without an external source— is one of the most common reasons for consultation in ENT. It can have multiple causes and requires a specific study to guide the most appropriate treatment.
Chronic nasal obstruction, allergic rhinitis, recurrent sinusitis, deviated septum, and nasal polyps are common conditions that the otolaryngologist can diagnose and treat, with both medical and surgical options.
Recurrent tonsillitis, persistent dysphonia, difficulty swallowing or snoring with sleep apnea suspected require evaluation by an ear, nose, and throat specialist.
Many cases of vertigo have an origin in the inner ear. The otolaryngologist can identify its cause—benign positional vertigo, Ménière disease, or other vestibular pathologies—and guide the treatment.
Recurrent otitis, hypertrophied adenoids, frequent infections of the throat, or hearing problems in childhood require specific otorhinolaryngological care. Early diagnosis can have a direct impact on the child’s language development and school performance.
Current hearing aids have evolved radically. Modern systems incorporate artificial intelligence that learns the habits of the patient: if the user lowers the volume when entering a specific location, the hearing aid learns to do so automatically the next time. They connect to the mobile phone to listen to music or receive calls directly, and use rechargeable batteries that are charged overnight.
The adaptation process at Otoaudio is carried out in a progressive manner, with a personalized follow-up of approximately one month. The goal is for the ear to gradually become accustomed, adjusting the power of the hearing aid based on the evolution of each patient.
The integration of both specialties in the same center allows for a quick response to any findings, facilitating continuity of care.
If an infection, obstruction, or any other abnormality is detected during the audiologic examination, the otolaryngologist can evaluate it and guide the most appropriate approach before proceeding with the study.
Otorhinolaryngology: Dr. Miguel García Teno, Dr. Julio Sánchez Lozano and Dr. Juan Ramón Benito Navarro. Audiology: Manuel Medina.
