Ear, Nose and Throat Medicine

Phoniatrics & Paediatric Audiology

In phoniatrics and paediatric audiology, we treat voice, speech and language disorders, childhood speech development disorders and hearing disorders. Swallowing disorders are also diagnosed and treated here. Our main focus:

  • Speech and language disorders in children
    • Speech development delays, speech disorders or speech impediments
    • Articulation disorders (stem defects)
    • Childhood fluency disorder (stuttering, rambling)
    • Nasal twang
    • Care for children with cleft lip and palate

  • Voice disorders (dysphonia)
    • Diagnosis and treatment of organic and functional voice disorders (dysphonia)
    • Carrying out voice-improving procedures, e.g: collagen-hyaluronic acid relining, fat augmentation, botox injection, cidofovir application
    • Care of laryngectomised patients: replacement voice preparation, cannula care after tracheotomy
    • Assessment of voice function (speaking voice, singing voice) in speech professions using laryngoscopy, stroboscopy, high-speed glottography, electroglottography, electromyography, voice field measurement, auditory and acoustic voice analysis, voice stress test, respiratory function measurement, computer-aided assessment of speech breathing and subglottic pressure measurement.

  • Swallowing disorders (dysphagia)
    • We use endoscopic procedures for the treatment and diagnosis of organic, structural or neurogenic swallowing disorders as well as eating, sucking, chewing and swallowing disorders in children.
      Thanks to sophisticated diagnostic procedures, we can precisely identify the location and type of dysfunction. Therapeutic measures, such as determining the correct body and head posture, are determined on the basis of clinical and scientific findings.
    • We care for patients in the intensive care unit who are tube-fed. We endeavour to recognise the earliest possible time for the start of oral feeding.
