Sinusitis
Sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses caused by infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal) and/or allergies. Acute sinusitis is very common and usually lasts less than 2 weeks, where chronic sinusitis can last months and is much more difficult to treat.
Medical Weight Loss
Throat cancer usually occurs in smokers and hoarseness is usually noticed early. Some other signs such as weight loss, difficulty swallowing, sore throat, referred ear pain, and lump in the neck might occur too.
Snoring
Primary Care
Most people know that smoking causes cancer, What some people don’t know is that smoking contributes to other illnesses. Noxious fumes and chemicals from cigarette smoke (including second hand smoke exposure) reduce the effectiveness of the body’s protective immune system. A young child whose parents smoke will be prone to more ear infections. Smokers have more frequent and worse sinus and lung infections. Cigarette smoke may lead to hoarseness and in its worse case, cancer of the vocal cords. All persons who have been hoarse for over six weeks should have an endoscopic evaluation of their vocal cords. Protect the health of yourself and others and STOP SMOKING TODAY! See your primary care physician and learn of the variety of prescription products that may help you in your endeavor to quit.
Ear Infections
Diarrhea

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Tonsillectomy (removal of tonsils) is recommended for people who experience frequent throat infections. Adenoidectomy (removal of adenoids) is recommended for recurrent ear or nasal infections. Other reasons to remove tonsils and adenoids is if they are enlarged, as this can cause obstructive symptoms, such as sleep apnea, swallowing difficulties, nasal sounding speech, dental malocclusion, and even heart failure. Recent reports also link enlarged tonsils and adenoids to obstructive breathing and sleep apnea, which can cause poor concentration and irritability during the day. This can be confused with ADHD. These patients often improve significantly after removal of their tonsils and adenoids.

Computed Tomography
The 3D Accuitomo 170 ENT is Morita’s most advanced cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner. This device delivers an unparalleled level of high-definition image clarity, which is crucial for comprehensive medical evaluations.
Radiation Therapy
If diagnosed early, throat cancer can often be cured by radiation therapy or limited surgery. If the disease has progressed and is not too far gone, good results can still be obtained, but will often require surgical removal of the voice box followed by radiation therapy. Fortunately, today ENT surgeons and speech pathologists have ways of restoring some vocal ability after removal of the voice box.

Ear Surgery
Otolaryngology
Voice therapy, specifically the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment method, has been demonstrated to be the most effective method of treating the lower volume, lower energy, and rapid rate of speech in persons with Parkinson’s disease (Dromey et al., 1995; Fox et al., 2006). Voice therapy has been used to treat hoarseness concurrently with other medical therapies like botulinum toxin injections for spasmodic dysphonia and/or tremor (American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2005; Murry & Woodson, 1995; Pearson & Sapienza,2003).

Lesions
Voice therapy has been demonstrated to be effective for hoarseness across the lifespan from children to older adults (Ramig & Verdolini, 1998; Thomas & Stemple, 2007). Voice therapy is the first line of treatment for vocal fold lesions like vocal nodules, polyps, or cysts (Anderson & Sataloff, 2002; Johns, 2003. These lesions often occur in people with vocally intense occupations like teachers, attorneys, or clergymen (Roy et al., 2001). Another possible cause of these lesions is vocal overdoing often seen in sports enthusiasts; in socially active, aggressive, or loud children; or in high-energy adults who often speak loudly (Boone et al., 2005; Rubin et al., 2006; Stemple et al., 2000; Trani et al., 2007).
