ENT Services & Conditions

LC Nose &

Low Country ENT also provides comprehensive care for thyroid conditions, including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid nodules, goiter, and thyroid cancer, using state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment options.

LC Sleep &
Snoring

Our Sleep Center offers comprehensive care for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), affecting over 12 million Americans. OSA, which involves repeated breathing interruptions during sleep, can lead to serious health issues like high blood pressure, heart attacks, and stroke. Diagnosis through a sleep study, where various body functions are monitored overnight, is essential. Treatment options include behavioral changes, CPAP machines, oral appliances, or surgery. Schedule a follow-up with your doctor to review your sleep study results and explore treatment options.

LC Throat &
Voice

We provide advanced care for voice and throat issues using state-of-the-art video stroboscopy. This in-office procedure, performed under topical anesthesia, uses a flexible camera and synchronized flashing light to visualize vocal cord vibrations in slow motion, allowing for accurate diagnosis of voice abnormalities. Voice problems caused by misuse, infections, or growths can significantly impact communication and quality of life. For expert evaluation and treatment of your voice concerns, schedule an appointment with Low Country ENT.

LC Audiology &
Hearing Aids

We offer comprehensive hearing and balance evaluations and treatments for all ages. Our services include hearing evaluations, tympanometry, auditory brainstem response testing, videonystagmography, electrocochleography, and treatment for benign positional vertigo. We also provide custom earmolds and dispense advanced digital hearing aids, which can automatically adjust to different environments and stream audio from smartphones. Our hearing aid brands include Starkey, Widex, Oticon, Signia, and Cochlear.

LC Pediatric
ENT

Our little ones need special care, as kids are not just little adults! At Low Country ENT, our team is equipped to handle all aspects of pediatric ear, nose, and throat care. Chronic ear infections or fluid in the middle ear can hinder speech development and cause repeated infections. When antibiotics and waiting aren’t enough, ear tubes can help by draining fluid, relieving pressure, and allowing for targeted treatments with ear drops. Tubes typically stay in place for 6 months to a year, often long enough for children to outgrow frequent ear infections. This common procedure can greatly improve hearing health and overall well-being.
