Norwest ENT Group has commenced their allergy clinic. We are testing for environmental allergies that lead to allergic rhinitis and rhinosinusitis.
We also offer oral desensitisation (immunotherapy) for appropriate patients. This is where a small amount of allergen is placed under the tongue in increasing doses over months to years, so that your body develops a resistance to the allergen and you lose the allergic symptoms.
Please call 02 88830744 to make an appointment for allergy testing and densensitisation in Bella Vista.
Recent improvements in hearing implant technology have relaxed the indicators for hearing implant candidacy. Most cochlear implant recipients are now adults whose hearing aids are not working well for them.
When your patient’s hearing aids are only allowing them to hear 70% of words in their better hearing ear and 40% of words in their worse hearing ear, then patients could be considered candidates for cochlear implants.
Our Norwest ENT Group ear surgeon, Dr Nirmal Patel is now the surgical director at the Northside Cochlear Implant Clinic, which is a specialist adult cochlear implant clinic servicing Northern Sydney, Northern Beaches, Northwest Sydney and greater NSW.
For patients that have appropriate private health insurance, once the Northside Cochlear Implant Clinic team are engaged for the implant service; the implant, surgery and one year of aftercare are completely covered by Medicare and health funds.
Sometimes, if your patient’s hearing aids are not working well and they are looking for an upgrade, it may be far more inexpensive for them to consider cochlear implantation than a new set of hearing aids!
