ENT - General
We provide thorough diagnostic, medical, and surgical care for all ear, nose, and throat conditions. Our ENT specialists combine clinical expertise with advanced technology to deliver precise diagnosis, effective treatment, and improved quality of life. We serve patients of all age groups with compassionate care and evidence-based medical practices.
About Our ENT Department
At THANC Hospital in Kilpauk, Chennai, we care for everything to do with the ear, nose, and throat. We treat common problems like sinus infections, hearing loss, ear pain, tinnitus, vertigo, sore throat, tonsillitis, snoring, and sleep apnea. We also handle complex conditions of the voice box, swallowing, head, neck, and skull base. Our senior ENT specialists use modern endoscopes and microsurgical tools to find the cause and offer the right treatment — medicines when they help, surgery only when truly needed.
What sets us apart is depth: dedicated sub-speciality clinics for rhinology (sinus and nose), otology (ear and hearing), laryngology (voice and airway), and head & neck surgery, with audiology and speech therapy in the same building. Every procedure is led by a senior consultant — not a trainee — and we share a written estimate before surgery so you know the cost upfront, no surprise bills.
We see patients of all ages, from young children to seniors. Please consult an ENT doctor if your symptoms last more than two to three weeks, or if your hearing, voice, breathing, or swallowing starts affecting daily life. Located in the heart of Chennai with easy access from across Tamil Nadu, we offer dependable, transparent, and affordable ENT care — all under one roof.
When to Consult Our ENT - General Team
Early evaluation leads to better outcomes. Speak to our team if you notice any of these:
Persistent nasal block or sinus problems

Hearing loss, ear discharge, or ear pain
Ear symptoms should be evaluated with examination and audiology for the right diagnosis and treatment.
Hoarseness or voice change
Voice change lasting more than 3 weeks needs scope assessment.
Swallowing difficulty or throat symptoms
Throat discomfort, food sticking, and chronic cough benefit from structured ENT evaluation.
Snoring, sleep apnea, or airway symptoms
