Why Patients Choose Our Washington Township Office

Patients choose ENT & Allergy Associates in Washington Township for access to a broad team of ENT and hearing professionals who care for both children and adults. The provider roster includes general otolaryngologists as well as physicians with focused training in complex sinus disease, skull base disorders, voice and swallowing conditions, and thyroid and parathyroid surgery.

This range of expertise allows patients to receive care for common symptoms and more complex conditions at the same practice. A child with recurring ear infections, an adult with persistent sinus pressure, and a patient managing hearing loss may have very different needs. Each evaluation is based on the patient’s symptoms, medical history, examination findings, and personal concerns.

Patients may also benefit from coordinated ENT and audiology services. When hearing changes, tinnitus, dizziness, or recurring ear problems require both medical and hearing-related evaluation, providers can work together to develop an appropriate plan.

Additional reasons patients select the Washington Township office include:

• Adult and pediatric ENT care
• Comprehensive hearing evaluations
• Hearing aid fitting and management
• Advanced sinus and skull base expertise
• Specialized voice and swallowing care
• Thyroid, parathyroid, and head and neck expertise
• Personalized treatment recommendations
• Same- and next-day appointment availability
• A convenient Sewell location for Gloucester County families
• Access to the broader ENT & Allergy Associates network

The office uses modern diagnostic tools to help identify the source of symptoms and guide treatment. Care may include observation, medication, hearing technology, an office-based procedure, therapy, or surgical consultation.

Conditions We Commonly Treat

Our Washington Township ENT and audiology providers evaluate conditions that affect breathing, hearing, balance, sleep, speech, swallowing, and head and neck health.

Chronic Sinusitis and Recurrent Sinus Infections

Sinus problems may cause:

• Nasal congestion
• Facial pressure
• Headaches
• Thick nasal drainage
• Postnasal drip
• Reduced sense of smell
• Recurring infections

An ENT examination can help identify inflammation, infection, nasal polyps, a deviated septum, or another concern affecting sinus drainage. Treatment may involve medication, nasal therapies, an office-based treatment, or surgical care.

Nasal Obstruction

Difficulty breathing through the nose may be associated with:

• A deviated septum
• Enlarged turbinates
• Nasal polyps
• Chronic inflammation
• Structural narrowing
• Nasal valve problems

After examining the nose and airway, an ENT specialist may recommend medication, symptom-management strategies, septoplasty, turbinate treatment, or another procedure.

Ear Infections

Ear infections are common in children but can also affect adults.

Symptoms may include:

• Ear pain
• Pressure or fullness
• Drainage
• Fever
• Temporary hearing changes
• Irritability
• Trouble sleeping

Recurring infections or persistent middle-ear fluid may require further evaluation. Treatment depends on the patient’s age, infection history, symptoms, and examination findings. Some children may benefit from ear tube placement.

Hearing Loss

Possible signs of hearing loss include:

• Difficulty following conversations
• Trouble hearing in noisy settings
• Frequently asking people to repeat themselves
• Turning up the television volume
• Missing certain sounds
• Speech or school-related concerns in children

A hearing test can measure the type and degree of hearing loss. Results may guide medical care, hearing aid recommendations, monitoring, or additional testing.

Sudden hearing loss should be evaluated promptly.

Tinnitus

Tinnitus may sound like ringing, buzzing, humming, clicking, or pulsing in one or both ears.

An evaluation may consider:

• Hearing loss
• Noise exposure
• Earwax buildup
• Medication effects
• Ear or balance conditions
• Other medical factors

Care focuses on identifying possible contributing conditions and reducing the effect of tinnitus on concentration, relaxation, and sleep.

Dizziness and Balance Disorders

Dizziness may feel like:

• Spinning
• Lightheadedness
• Unsteadiness
• Motion sensitivity
• A sensation that the room is moving
• Difficulty walking steadily

ENT and vestibular testing may help determine if an inner-ear condition is contributing to the symptoms. The evaluation may also consider triggers, hearing changes, recent illnesses, injuries, and medication use.

Snoring and Sleep-Related Breathing Problems

Symptoms that may require evaluation include:

• Loud snoring
• Mouth breathing
• Gasping during sleep
• Pauses in breathing
• Morning headaches
• Daytime fatigue
• Difficulty concentrating

An ENT specialist can examine the nose, throat, tonsils, and airway for factors affecting nighttime airflow. Further sleep testing or treatment may be recommended.

Voice and Swallowing Disorders

Patients may need specialized care for:

• Persistent hoarseness
• Voice fatigue
• Throat discomfort
• Frequent throat clearing
• Coughing while eating
• Difficulty swallowing
• A sensation that food is getting stuck

An examination may help identify vocal cord conditions, inflammation, reflux-related irritation, neurologic concerns, or structural abnormalities. Treatment may include medication, therapy, behavioral changes, or a procedure.

Pediatric ENT Conditions

Our pediatric ENT physicians care for children with:

• Recurring ear infections
• Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
• Chronic nasal congestion
• Snoring
• Nosebleeds
• Hearing concerns
• Speech-related difficulties
• Persistent mouth breathing

Treatment recommendations consider the child’s age, development, symptoms, medical history, prior treatments, and family concerns.

Thyroid, Parathyroid, and Head and Neck Conditions

An ENT evaluation may be appropriate for:

• Thyroid nodules
• Enlarged thyroid gland
• Parathyroid disease
• Neck lumps
• Enlarged lymph nodes
• Salivary gland concerns
• Head and neck growths

Evaluation may involve a physical examination, imaging review, laboratory testing, endoscopy, or biopsy. Dr. Temmermand provides focused expertise in thyroid and parathyroid surgery.
