Snoring

Snoring in adults is often a multi-level problem – in other words there is often not just one cause that can be identified and treated. Not all snorers have sleep apnea but if you are worried the best is to do a sleep study.

Often more than one medical discipline is involved and the role of the ENT surgeon is to see if the nose (septal deviation, sinusitis, enlarged adenoids) or mouth area (very long soft palate and enlarged tonsils) is involved and should be corrected – either to help with the snoring or sometimes assist in the fitting of the CPAP mask if needed.
