HNO

Ears and noses are important bodily organs that are responsible for more than just hearing and smelling. The ear influences our balance. Impaired hearing, pain and chronic tinnitus may accompany psychological stress.

Dr. med. Egbert Happe
Consultant for ENT medicine and sleep medicine

SKH Stadtteilklinik Hamburg offers both outpatient and inpatient operations in ear, nose and throat medicine.

All surgical therapies are performed, from adenoidectomy to lingual frenulum plastic surgery. We offer inpatient follow-up care even for outpatient operations, especially in the case of children.

In addition to the beds for ENT surgery officially recognised in the Hamburg City bed plan, we also have an ultra-modern sleep laboratory. Sleep disorders can lead to a shortened life expectancy and involve considerable risks that those affected may not always be aware of. We specialise in treating sleep disorders and offer operative and non-operative methods.

If you have any questions, please arrange an appointment at the practice.
