Conditions We Treat
Cholesteatoma
Unusual growths of skin that occur in the middle ear are known as cholesteatomas. Hearing loss and recurrent ear infections are often seen when cholesteatomas are present. Our expert team will provide effective treatment to prevent disease progression and potential complications from cholesteatomas.
Conductive Hearing Loss
Conductive hearing loss happens when sound cannot pass unobstructive from the outside world to the inner ear. It may be caused by blockages, trauma, infection or damage to certain structures. We diagnose and treat such conditions, restoring or preserving optimal hearing function.
Dizziness and Motion Sickness
We offer comprehensive treatment for dizziness and motion sickness, focusing on balance issues often linked to inner ear disorders. Our experts also identify and manage conditions that cause vertigo ensuring proper diagnosis and treatment.
Earaches and Otitis Media
Earaches and otitis media (middle ear infection) can cause severe discomfort. We offer relief from ear pain and inflammation, including acute and chronic middle ear infections.
Middle-Ear Infection (Chronic Otitis Media)
We provide specialized care for chronic otitis media, a recurring middle ear infection that can lead to hearing loss. Our interventions aim to control infection and maintain hearing ability.

Otitis Externa (a.k.a. Swimmer’s Ear)
Swimmer’s ear, or otitis externa, is an infection often caused by water remaining in the ear. We provide comprehensive care, offering prevention advice, swift diagnosis, and effective treatment to alleviate symptoms.

Balance and Hearing Treatments
See our Audiology section for more information regarding the variety of treatments we offer to improve your hearing and/or balance. You can count on ENT Centers of North Texas to meet your hearing and balance needs.
Earwax Removal
When earwax becomes impacted and you notice increased fullness and/or decreased hearing, you may benefit from an earwax removal procedure. While some over-the-counter techniques are useful for mild cases or to help prevent build-up of earwax, more often than not they are not effective for fully impacted cerumen (earwax) and an in-office treatment may be necessary. If needed, our ENT specialists will carefully remove earwax with specialized instruments. See our separate page on earwax to learn more.
