ENT Specialist in Korea

Why are ENT problems common in Korea?

Seasonal fine dust (미세먼지), particularly in spring, along with pollen and heavy indoor heating/air conditioning use, contribute to high rates of allergic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis.

What is the treatment for chronic sinusitis in Korea?

Initial treatment is medical — nasal sprays, antihistamines, and sometimes antibiotics. If symptoms persist despite months of treatment, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) may be recommended.

Can I get a hearing test at a private ENT clinic?

Yes. Audiometry (hearing tests) is available at most ENT clinics in Seoul. Tests take 30–45 minutes and results are immediate. Hearing aids can be fitted if needed.

Is sleep apnea treatment available in Korea?

Yes. ENT surgeons and sleep medicine specialists diagnose and treat sleep apnea via a sleep study (polysomnography). CPAP therapy is widely available, as is surgical treatment where appropriate.
