Department of ENT · SBMCH
ENT Hospital in Tirupati
An ear that keeps discharging, a nose that stays blocked through the year, a sore throat that returns every few weeks, or hearing that is not what it used to be: our ear nose throat specialists in Tirupati examine, test and treat all three under one roof at Sri Balaji Medical College & Hospital. As an ENT hospital in Tirupati attached to a teaching institution, we combine endoscopic examination, hearing assessment and surgical care in the same campus.

About the department
ENT Department in Tirupati
The Department of ENT, also called Oto-rhinolaryngology, at Sri Balaji Medical College, Hospital & Research Institute, Renigunta, diagnoses and treats conditions of the ear, nose, sinuses, throat and voice box in both adults and children. An ENT specialist in Tirupati at SBMCH examines all three areas together, which matters because nasal and sinus problems often affect the ears, and throat symptoms often affect breathing and sleep.
Patients come to this ear nose throat hospital in Tirupati for a first opinion, for long-standing ear discharge or nasal blockage, and for planned surgery such as tonsillectomy, septoplasty, endoscopic sinus surgery and eardrum repair. Examination is supported by nasal and ear endoscopy, the operating microscope and hearing tests within the hospital, so a diagnosis is usually reached in the same visit.
What you can expect
- Full clinical examination of the ear, nose and throat
- Diagnostic nasal endoscopy and ear endoscopy or otoscopy where needed
- Hearing assessment with pure tone and impedance audiometry
- Medical treatment first, with surgery advised only when it is likely to help
- Microscopic and endoscopic surgical techniques according to the case
- Planned review after treatment or surgery
Treatments & procedures
Conditions We Treat
ENT treatment in Tirupati at SBMCH covers medicines, day procedures and surgery. Select an area to see how our ENT surgeons assess and treat it.
Tonsillitis, Adenoids & Combined Surgery
We assess recurrent tonsil infections, enlarged tonsils and enlarged adenoids to decide what will actually help. Enlarged adenoids can contribute to nasal blockage and related breathing or ear concerns, particularly in children. Patients with problems involving both the tonsils and the adenoids may benefit from combined treatment. For tonsillitis treatment in Tirupati, medical treatment is tried first and surgery is advised only when infections keep returning or breathing is affected.
What we provide
- Clinical assessment of throat symptoms and adenoid enlargement
- Nasal endoscopy or imaging when indicated
- Medical treatment when appropriate
- Tonsillectomy using conventional, coblation or bipolar cautery techniques
- Conventional, microdebrider-assisted or coblation adenoidectomy
- Adenotonsillectomy when indicated, with recovery guidance and postoperative review
Quinsy (Peritonsillar Abscess)
An abscess beside the tonsil can cause severe throat pain and difficulty swallowing. We provide prompt assessment and treatment. Do not wait if you cannot swallow or your breathing feels tight: call 0877 6510510 or come to the hospital.
What we provide
- Clinical evaluation and assessment of airway concerns
- Incision and drainage when required
- Appropriate medicines and supportive care
- Follow-up to review recovery
Voice Changes & Laryngeal Growths
Persistent voice changes or a suspected growth in the voice box require careful examination. For voice disorder treatment in Tirupati, we look at the vocal cords directly rather than treating hoarseness as a passing problem.
What we provide
- Laryngeal assessment
- Microlaryngoscopic examination and biopsy when indicated
- Tissue sampling for histopathological examination
- Further treatment planning based on the findings
Tongue Lesions & Mouth Ulcers
We assess persistent ulcers, lumps or abnormal areas along the tongue, including its lateral border, and we investigate painful mouth ulcers that keep returning or do not heal as expected.
What we provide
- Clinical examination of the lesion
- Punch or other appropriate biopsy when indicated
- Histopathological examination
- Symptom-relieving treatment for aphthous ulcers
- Blood count or vitamin B12 testing when indicated
- Follow-up and specialist coordination
Deviated Nasal Septum & Septoplasty
A deviated nasal septum may contribute to nasal obstruction. We assess the cause of symptoms before recommending treatment, because not every deviated septum needs surgery. Deviated septum treatment in Tirupati at SBMCH begins with an endoscopic look at the whole nasal passage.
What we provide
- Nasal examination and endoscopic assessment
- Review of associated nasal or sinus concerns
- Conventional or endoscopic septoplasty when indicated
- Postoperative care
Sinusitis, FESS & Nasal Polyps
We evaluate persistent sinus symptoms and recommend medical treatment or surgery according to the findings. Nasal polyps may cause blockage and affect nasal breathing, and treatment depends on their location, extent and associated sinus disease. For sinus treatment in Tirupati, Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery is offered in suitable cases.
What we provide
- Diagnostic nasal endoscopy
- CT assessment when indicated
- Medical management of sinusitis
- Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) in suitable cases
- Assessment of antrochoanal and bilateral nasal polyps
- Endoscopic polyp removal when indicated, with follow-up for symptom control and recurrence
Nasal & Sinonasal Growths
We investigate suspected nasal growths and plan care according to their nature, extent and relationship to surrounding structures.
What we provide
- Endoscopic assessment and appropriate imaging
- Evaluation of suspected angiofibroma and other nasal tumours
- Endoscopic or open surgery in selected cases
- Lateral rhinotomy or maxillectomy when indicated, with specialist coordination
Chronic Otitis Media, Ear Reconstruction & Grommets
Long-standing ear discharge, eardrum perforation or suspected cholesteatoma requires assessment of hearing and the middle ear. Selected patients with persistent middle-ear fluid or recurrent infections may benefit from ventilation tubes. For eardrum surgery in Tirupati, we use microscopic or endoscopic approaches according to the case.
What we provide
- Ear examination and hearing assessment
- Myringoplasty or tympanoplasty when indicated
- Cortical or modified radical mastoidectomy according to disease extent
- Microscopic or endoscopic surgical approaches
- Hearing and impedance testing when appropriate
- Myringotomy with grommet insertion in one or both ears, and follow-up of hearing and tube function
Ear Infections & Otomycosis
We assess acute middle-ear infection and provide treatment based on symptoms, examination and the patient's age and health. Fungal infection of the ear canal may cause itching, discomfort, blockage or discharge, and inflammation of the outer ear canal can cause pain and discharge. Ear infection treatment in Tirupati starts with a clear look inside the ear.
What we provide
- Otoscopic or endoscopic ear examination
- Pain relief and appropriate medical treatment
- Endoscopic or microscopic ear cleaning when required
- Appropriate antifungal treatment for otomycosis
- Ear-swab testing in selected cases
- Review of persistent discharge, assessment for complications and ear-care advice

Your visit
Visiting the ENT OPD in Tirupati
Here is what an ENT consultation in Tirupati at SBMCH usually looks like, from registration to follow-up.
Register at OPD
Bring a photo ID, your previous prescriptions and any earlier hearing test or scan reports. Call ahead to confirm doctor availability.
Ear, nose & throat examination
The doctor takes a history and examines all three areas, using an otoscope, ear endoscope or nasal endoscope where needed.
Tests if required
Audiometry, impedance testing, swab culture, biopsy or a CT scan are arranged within the hospital so findings reach your doctor quickly.
Treatment & follow-up
You leave with a clear plan. If surgery is advised, the doctor explains the approach, the recovery and the date for your next review.
Hearing & ENT screening
Hearing Assessment and ENT Check-ups
Hearing loss often builds slowly, and long-standing nasal blockage is easy to live with until it affects sleep or the ears. A hearing evaluation and ENT examination can show what is happening before it becomes harder to treat.
- Ear examination with otoscopy or ear endoscopy
- Pure tone audiometry and impedance testing
- Diagnostic nasal endoscopy for long-standing nasal symptoms
- Throat and voice assessment, with advice and follow-up

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is the best ENT hospital in Tirupati?
The right hospital depends on your symptoms, whether you need endoscopy or a hearing test, and whether surgery is likely. Sri Balaji Medical College & Hospital, Renigunta, is an ENT hospital in Tirupati with MS-qualified ENT surgeons, nasal and ear endoscopy, audiometry and an operating microscope on the same campus, so examination, testing and surgery can be handled in one place.
What does an ENT specialist treat?
An ENT specialist, also called an ear nose throat specialist, treats conditions of the ear, nose, sinuses, throat and voice box. This includes ear infections and hearing loss, sinusitis, nasal blockage and polyps, a deviated nasal septum, tonsillitis, enlarged adenoids, hoarseness and growths in the nose, mouth or voice box.
How do I choose the best ENT specialist in Tirupati?
Look at the qualification, whether the doctor can examine the ear and nose endoscopically in the same visit, whether hearing tests and imaging are available in the same hospital, and whether the doctor explains why a procedure is or is not needed. Asking what happens if you wait is a fair question, and the answer tells you a lot.
Do I need surgery for a deviated nasal septum or sinus problem?
Not always. Many patients improve with medicines and nasal treatment. An ENT doctor in Tirupati at SBMCH assesses the nose with endoscopy, and a CT scan when indicated, before advising septoplasty or Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery. Surgery is suggested only when it is likely to relieve your symptoms.
When should a child have their tonsils or adenoids removed?
Surgery is considered when tonsil infections keep returning, or when enlarged tonsils or adenoids block the nose and disturb breathing, sleep or the ears. We assess the symptoms and examine the adenoids with endoscopy or imaging before deciding, and medical treatment is tried first where it is suitable.
What happens during a hearing test?
Pure tone audiometry is a painless test in a quiet room. You wear headphones and signal when you hear a sound, and the results show the type and degree of hearing loss. Impedance audiometry, also called tympanometry, checks how the eardrum and middle ear are working. Both are done within the hospital.
Do I need an appointment for the ENT OPD?
We recommend calling ahead on 0877 6510510 to confirm doctor availability and OPD timings before your visit.
What should I bring to my ENT consultation in Tirupati?
Bring a photo ID, all current medicines or prescriptions, and any earlier reports such as audiometry results, CT scans of the sinuses or temporal bone, or biopsy reports. If a child is being seen, bring a note of how often the infections happen.
Where is Sri Balaji Medical College & Hospital located?
The hospital is on Airport Road, Renigunta, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh 517520.
