Our philosophy for children
Time & Patience
Children need time to build trust. We schedule our appointments so that there is no time pressure and we can examine them in a playful manner.
Holistic Approach
We do not focus on just one symptom but look at your child holistically, also checking for connections with allergies, jaw issues or speech development.
Strong Network
We work closely with paediatricians, speech therapists and paediatric audiologists to ensure your child receives the best possible support.
Frequently Asked Questions by Parents
Not every child who snores or has large tonsils needs surgery.
We only recommend an operation in cases of persistent sleep apnoea or extremely frequent purulent infections
— and then often only a partial removal (tonsillotomy).
We use play-based tests (play audiometry) in which the child actively
participates. For very young children or for precise measurements, we use
objective methods (OAE, BERA) that do not require the child's active cooperation.
Fluid behind the eardrum is common. Often, watchful waiting and
supportive therapy (nasal spray, balloon autoinflation) are sufficient. Grommets are
only necessary when hearing remains impaired over a longer period and
speech development is at risk.
