Ear, Nose and Throat
ENT care in Palafrugell: ears, nose and throat, with hearing tests and endoscopy, for adults and children.
Ear, Nose and Throat
ENT medicine covers the ears, nose, throat and larynx. We see otitis, sinusitis, recurrent sore throats, persistent nasal congestion, snoring and sleep apnoea, hoarseness and hearing loss. Vertigo and balance problems are another frequent reason for booking an appointment.
Examinations are carried out with a microscope and a flexible endoscope, and hearing tests are done on site, so the first appointment usually gives a clear picture of what is going on. We also see children with recurrent ear infections, enlarged tonsils or trouble breathing through the nose. We are on Plaça de Catalunya in Palafrugell, by appointment, and work with more than 40 health insurers.
Services in this specialty: Ear, Nose and Throat
- Ear, nose and throat conditions. Otitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, snoring and sleep apnoea, and the other conditions affecting these areas.
- Vertigo and balance disorders. Investigation of what is causing the dizziness and treatment to get your everyday steadiness back.
- Paediatric ENT. Recurrent ear infections, tonsillitis, adenoids and breathing difficulties in young children.
- Microscopic ear examination. Gives a detailed view of the ear canal and eardrum, and allows precise cleaning or treatment.
- Audiometry. Measures what each ear can hear and puts a figure on any hearing loss.
- Nasal endoscopy and laryngoscopy. A thin, flexible camera lets us look inside the nose, pharynx and larynx during the same appointment.
- Surgical planning. Assessment and preparation for operations such as a deviated septum, chronic sinusitis, tonsillectomy or middle ear surgery.
If your ear feels blocked, your hearing has dropped, you feel dizzy or you have been hoarse for more than two weeks, it is worth getting it looked at. Bring any previous hearing tests or reports and, if you are coming about snoring or apnoea, it helps a great deal if whoever sleeps beside you comes along. Call 972 30 65 65 or request an appointment through the contact form.

Can I have the hearing test on the day of my appointment?
Yes, hearing tests are done on site and can often be carried out during the same appointment, as can the microscope examination and the nasal endoscopy. If you have earlier hearing tests or reports, bring them along so the results can be compared.
Do you see children with recurrent ear infections or adenoids?
