Ear, nose and throat problems and allergies
EAR
Hearing loss affects one in ten North Americans. Dr. Makdessian is trained in both the medical and surgical treatment of hearing loss, ear infections, balance disorders such as dizziness and vertigo, and ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
NOSE AND SINUSES
About 35 million people develop chronic sinusitis each year, making it one of the most common health complaints in America. If you are one of those 35 million with sinusitis, or if you have other issues affecting your nasal cavity, sinuses, sense of smell or breathing, let Dr. Makdessian help you. Dr. Makdessian offers a relatively new minimally invasive sinus surgery with Relieva Balloon Sinuplasty™ devices. Furthermore, we live in the "allergy capital" here in Central Kentucky and as such, many of you suffer from allergies--"hay fever" or more properly allergic rhinitis--Dr. Makdessian can offer you novel therapies such as "allergy drops" also known as sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT).
THROAT
If you are having trouble with recurrent throat infections, "strep throat", swallowing or having trouble with your voice, we can help. Dr. Makdessian also has expertise in managing diseases of the larynx (voice box) and esophagus, including voice and swallowing disorders.
SLEEP DISORDERS
Although they may seem like minor annoyances, snoring and other sleep disorders such as sleep apnea can have a serious impact on your overall health. Dr. Makdessian can treat sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, allowing you to finally get a restful night sleep.
