Hearing disorders
Examination of hearing in cases of hearing loss, pressure in the ear or sudden loss of hearing — including hearing tests and examination of the middle ear.
ENT specialist practice in Essen-Stoppenberg
Senses you only notice when they start to fade. In our practice we examine complaints of the ears, nose and throat — thoroughly, without rush, and with a clear explanation of what we find.
Services
Which examination makes sense in your case is something we decide together, in person.
Examination of hearing in cases of hearing loss, pressure in the ear or sudden loss of hearing — including hearing tests and examination of the middle ear.
Assessment of ringing in the ears: where it comes from, what can be examined, and which treatment paths are possible.
Examination of the balance organ in cases of spinning sensations, unsteadiness and difficulty walking.
Blocked nasal breathing, recurring inflammation, pressure over the forehead and cheeks — examination of the nose and paranasal sinuses.
Allergy testing for seasonal and year-round complaints, with advice on the next steps.
Assessment of snoring and pauses in breathing during sleep. Referral to a sleep laboratory where required.
Examination in cases of persistent hoarseness, voice problems, difficulty swallowing, and speech or language difficulties.
Earache, recurring infections, enlarged adenoids and questions about hearing — examined in a child-friendly way.
Equipment
To assess the ear canal and eardrum we work with a surgical microscope. This allows a precise view — and therefore an assessment based on what can actually be seen.

Your appointment time is the time you should arrive at the practice — it is not necessarily when your examination begins. How long an examination takes cannot always be predicted, and urgent cases take priority. Please allow a little extra time.
The practice
Complaints of the ear, nose and throat are rarely clear-cut. That is why we take the time to listen, examine carefully, and explain the result in a way you can follow.

Your visit
You hand in your insurance card at reception. Please bring a referral if you have one.
We talk about your symptoms: how long, how severe, in which situations. Take your time — details help.
Depending on the complaint we examine ears, nose, throat and larynx, with a hearing test or microscope where needed.
You learn what we found and what it means — in plain language, not in medical jargon.
Together we discuss what follows: treatment, a check-up, or referral to a specialist.

Please note: the time you book is your arrival time at the practice, not necessarily the start of your examination.
Please do not send us health information by unencrypted email — it is not a secure channel for medical data.
Private consultation
Alongside the statutory-insurance consultation there is a separate consultation for privately insured patients, civil-servant allowance holders and self-payers — with more time for the examination and usually an appointment within a few days. Billing follows the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ).
