It may affect any age group from infancy to aged persons. It is found that snoring is related to daytime dysfunction and heart disease. In most cases, spouse or the relative sleeping next to the affected person is more affected than the snoring person himself. Causes of snoring Snoring may be due to the medical conditions such as Adenoids, Nasal Polyp or due to Deviated nasal septum which gives a minimal area for breathing. The hormonal changes in the females after the Menopause also have added to the causes to Snoring. In children, Tonsillitis and Adenoids lead to the nasal obstruction and Snoring. Enlarged and thick Uvula can be an additional cause. Effects of snoring Though there is no immediate effect of snoring on a person,it can lead to disturbed sleep pattern and thereby lead to hypertension and cardiac problems. Poor sleep itself can be a problem for the person resulting in poor work performance the next day. Treatment for snoring Snoring and sleep apnea treatment depends on the cause and pathology involved.

KTP 532 Laser Treatment
We at Vikram ENT Hospital & Research Institute use laser for wide range of ENT related procedures. Some of the areas where we use KTP 532 laser are Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, Vocal Cord Surgery, and Cochlear Implant Surgery. This motivated and productive application of KTP 532 laser has made us one of the leading ENT specialist center globally. Laser The word laser is the short form of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. This beam is created by the structured process of optical amplification, which is done by the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. This light-form is quite different from the other varieties of lights commonly seen. Laser is more consistent and cohesive by nature, and because of this property, the same can be focused on specific points for generating higher degrees of energy, which will be useful for performing jobs like laser cutting and lithography. Laser in Therapeutic ENT Treatments At Vikram ENT Hospital we pioneered the use of lasers for ear, nose and throat surgery. Laser is a close band of extremely powerful light rays (a group of photons), which possess single wavelength and similar features, and wherein all the rays have identical length and strength, and pass together taking a uniform direction. If this powerful rays is focused through a lens into a specific spot, highly intense energy can be created; this energy is used in the laser treatments. For instance, laser is very much effective for coagulating or vaporizing the blood and body tissues. The present-day usage of lasers spreads across various arenas such as computer hardware, electronics, pharmaceutical purpose, etc. The use of laser is recommended for high precision, blood less treatments for ear, nose and throat disorders and endoscopic sinus surgeries. The overall effectiveness and the easiness of usage makes it even more accepted in delivering improved healthcare outcomes.

cochlear implant
Cochlear implant in India is a very rare curative procedure then. Under the leadership of Dr. P.G.Visvanathan, Dr.Aruna Viswanathan and Dr.Anjana Visvanathan, we offered this technology to India, thereby making the cure for hearing loss accessible and affordable. The cochlear implant surgery is a very handy treatment for those who suffer from severe hearing loss or deficiency. Here, an electronic device (a receiver-stimulator) is implanted inside the ear of the patient. The implantation of this type is specially created electronic chip takes place in the rear portion of the temporal bone, which is known as the ‘mastoid bone’. This instrument will receive the sound codes through an outside mechanism comprising of a transmitter, receiver, and a processor. Then it decodes the same and gives the required notifications to the brain. ‘Cochlear Implant’ is relatively a short surgical process, which needs only two or three hours to complete. In most cases, common anesthesia is enough to perform this procedure. Cochlear implant procedure in India is easy these days. However, one must make sure to approach the best ENT surgeon in India, who is well aware of the modern implant otology procedures.
