How does the chair in the INT set enhance the patient's comfort during examination?

The chair in the INT set is adjustable, allowing it to be raised or lowered to ensure patient comfort during the examination.

What role does the camera play in the ENT examination?

The camera is used to observe areas such as the ear canal, nasal passages, and oral cavity, providing a clear view for the doctor to diagnose conditions.

How is the ear examined during a routine ENT check-up?

The ear is examined using an otoscope, which allows the doctor to inspect the ear canal and eardrum for any abnormalities, such as dirt or damage.

What is the purpose of the laryngoscope, and how is it used?

The laryngoscope is used to examine the vocal cords. It is particularly useful for patients who complain of a hoarse voice, as it allows the doctor to view the vocal cords directly.

The doctor asks the patient to repeatedly say the sound 'i' to observe if the vocal cords close properly, indicating normal function.

An audiometer is used to assess the patient's hearing. The test involves playing sounds through headphones to determine if there is any hearing loss.

The audiometer plays different sounds through a computer and the patient is asked to respond when they hear them. The test is conducted for each ear to assess hearing sensitivity.

What additional equipment is available to assess hearing besides the audiometer?

In addition to the audiometer, RSUD Aliksan also uses a more conventional hearing test setup with a soundproof room to reduce external noise, ensuring accurate results during the hearing assessment.
