Westport ENT Offers Several Minimally Invasive Solutions to Many Problems

NORWALK, CT, August 02, 2012 (Press-News.org) To help improve the treatment of various ear, nose and throat complications, Dr. Andrew Parker, Westport ENT, is pleased to offer several minimally invasive solutions at Parker Ear Nose & Throat of Fairfield County. Patients suffering from Westport snoring, hearing loss and sinusitis, Dr. Parker is now offering numerous treatment options including an implantable hearing aid, and Balloon sinus dilation.

"With these minimally invasive procedures I hope to further offer relief for my patients suffering from ear, nose and throat complications. Each procedure is available to aide in hearing loss, snoring and sinusitis. I hope that each procedure will allow for my patients to breathe easy, sleep well and hear better for years to come," said Dr. Andrew Parker, ENT offering Norwalk hearing aids.

Patients suffering from hearing loss can experience an improvement in their hearing with the new Lyric implantable hearing aid. The Lyric device is the world's first semi-permanent, invisible hearing aid on the market. Dr. Parker, a Lyric trained and certified provider, inserts this device, which eliminates the need for the user to insert and remove the device.

This Westport hearing aid can be worn 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for months at a time. There is no surgery or anesthesia required, and is positioned completely inside the ear canal so that it uses your ear's natural anatomy to provide exceptional, natural sound quality. The Lyric implantable hearing aid is designed for people with mild to moderately-sever hearing loss.

Additionally, Dr. Andrew Parker is now offering Pillar palatal implants for Westport snoring treatment. Snoring can often disrupt sleep, annoy sleep partners and may pose serious health consequences. Pillar palatal implants are a safe, simple and effective treatment option that is designed to stiffen the soft palate to help patients stop snoring. This procedure is relatively painless and can be performed in Dr. Parker's office in as little as 20 minutes, using a local anesthetic.

Dr. Andrew Parker also provides his patients with Balloon sinus dilation for the treatment of sinusitis, which is an inflammation, or swelling, of the tissue lining the sinuses. With the new Balloon sinus dilation procedure, Dr. Parker, Norwalk ear, nose and throat doctor, opens inflamed sinuses in the same way that a heart surgeon would open up blocked arteries during balloon angioplasty. This procedure is less invasive than traditional sinus surgery, and is effective in relieving symptoms of chronic sinusitis. Additionally, Balloon sinus dilation allows patients to return to their normal activities quickly.
