Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology
Specialized in: adult and pediatric otolaryngology About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology at Charite University Hospital Berlin
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology at the Charite University Hospital Berlin offers all modern diagnostic and therapeutic services in the field of its specialization. The priority fields of the department's work include ear surgery, including cochlear implantation and the implantation of hearing aids, otolaryngological surgical oncology, paranasal sinus surgery, plastic surgery, laser surgery, salivary gland surgery and pediatric otolaryngology. The service range is also complemented by allergology. The department began its work back in 1893, and therefore it has exceptional experience in the treatment, including complex clinical cases, as well as long traditions of high quality medical care for patients. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Heidi Olze.
The department annually treats more than 40,000 patients, as well as performs about 3,500 surgical interventions and more than 140 cochlear implantations. These indicators speak for themselves and confirm the department’s prestigious status within the country and at the international level.
An important component of the successful clinical practice is interdisciplinary collaboration with experts from the related disciplines. For example, the therapeutic process often involves doctors specializing in neurosurgery, robotic surgery, cancer surgery, maxillofacial surgery, etc. The surgical treatment is provided in four ultramodern operating rooms, including outpatient operating rooms. Each clinical case is considered individually, after which doctors develop an optimal treatment regimen using reliable classic and innovative techniques.

- Diagnostics and treatment of hearing impairment and hearing loss
