In the complex anatomy of the head and neck, a millimeter of difference can mean the separation between a successful surgery and a complication. Diagnosing conditions in the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) requires more than just a flashlight and a tongue depressor. It requires high-definition imaging, functional testing of microscopic hair cells, and real-time visualization of the airway.
At Liv Hospital, our diagnostic philosophy is “See, Measure, Treat.” We utilize a suite of advanced technologies—from Videostroboscopy for voice disorders to VNG (Videonystagmography) for dizziness—to pinpoint the exact physiological cause of your symptoms. For our international patients, this often means receiving a definitive diagnosis for a condition that has been “unexplained” or “misdiagnosed” for years in their home country.
The days of the doctor squinting into your ear or nose with a handheld light are over. At Liv Hospital, the cornerstone of our diagnosis is Rigid and Flexible Endoscopy.
Hearing loss is invisible. Our Audiology Department uses a battery of objective tests to measure not just if you hear, but how you hear.
This is the gold standard. You sit in a soundproof booth and raise your hand when you hear tones at different frequencies (pitch) and volumes (intensity).
This is not a hearing test; it is a pressure test. A soft probe is placed in the ear canal to change the air pressure slightly.
For babies who cannot raise their hand, or adults suspected of faking hearing loss, we use BERA.
Dizziness is one of the hardest symptoms to diagnose because it can stem from the ear, the brain, or the heart. Liv Hospital’s Balance Center differentiates these using Videonystagmography (VNG).
Before any major head and neck surgery, we need a 3D map.
For chronic sinusitis patients, a CT scan is mandatory.
For patients with asymmetric hearing loss (hearing worse in one ear) or persistent tinnitus, we perform an MRI with contrast.
For thyroid nodules or swollen lymph nodes.

Standard laryngoscopy shows the structure of the vocal cords, but Videostroboscopy shows their function.
The vocal cords vibrate hundreds of times per second—too fast for the human eye to see.
Snoring is not just noise; it is vibration caused by obstruction. To cure it, we must find the choke point.
The patient spends a night in our specialized “Sleep Suite” (which looks like a hotel room, not a lab).
This is a game-changer for patients who failed CPAP or want surgery.
When a mass is found, we need to know what cells are inside.
Used for thyroid nodules and neck lumps.
It feels like a slight pressure and tickling sensation inside the nose; the area is numbed with a spray beforehand, so it is generally not painful but can be mildly uncomfortable.
Yes, a CT scan uses X-rays, but modern sinus protocols use very low radiation doses, often comparable to standard dental X-rays, to ensure patient safety.
A skin prick test typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes; the placement of the allergens takes a few minutes, and then you must wait about 15 minutes to see the skin’s reaction.
While a hearing test alone cannot diagnose a tumor, asymmetric hearing loss (hearing worse in one ear) is a red flag that often prompts an MRI to rule out a tumor on the auditory nerve.
Snoring is a symptom, but a sleep study is necessary to measure whether your oxygen levels drop and how often you stop breathing, which helps determine whether you need a CPAP machine or just a simple oral appliance.
