The
otolaryngology practice at Loyola is among the top ear,
nose and throat (ENT) programs in Illinois and in the
country. Loyola’s ENT physicians treat children
and adults with disturbances in hearing, balance, smell
and taste; allergies; head and neck injuries; cancer
of the head and neck; voice and swallowing disorders;
and sleep disorders. Among the diagnostic tools used
are balance testing and the most advanced audiological
and imaging equipment.
The
department has a reputation for achieving excellent
results in endoscopic sinus surgery. Other surgical
treatments performed include nasal surgery, skull-base
surgery and reconstructive surgery of the head and neck
as well as implantation of hearing devices for the middle
ear and cochlear implants.

Among the firsts for Loyola’s otolaryngology department

laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty.

ways to restore hearing, treat incapacitating vertigo,
