Chatchanan Boonnak
Bangkok Hospital Pattaya has a message it wants
everyone to hear: Hearing problems need not go untreated.
The hospital’s ear, nose and
throat specialists hosted an educational seminar May 9 to discuss
ailments ranging from common allergies to chronic tinnitus and show
off technology BHP uses to treat them.
Hospital Director Dr. Supakorn
Winwan hosted the exhibition attended by doctors, nurses and
patients alike. Topics included hearing, speaking, balance, voice
and sound clarity, as well as hearing tests for children and
infants, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.
Ear, Nose & Throat Center
director Dr. Suchitra Prasansuk reviewed the use of hearing aids and
cochlear implants. The center provides both, as well as treatment
for children, rehabilitation therapy and standard hearing tests.
Hearing problems need not be so serious,
however. Doctors reviewed other causes of hearing and nasal passage
impediments, which can be caused by allergies, sore throats and
snoring.
