According to the Focus magazine, the specialist ranks among the top German doctors specializing in sinusitis treatment!
The department is part of the Cochlear Implant Center Münsterland, which has an excellent reputation in the treatment of hearing disorders in infants, children, and adults with cochlear implants (implantable auditory prostheses, which allow to restore hearing in hearing loss).
