Chronic sinusitis may result from infections, allergies, or structural issues. Treatment options include antibiotics, nasal corticosteroids, and in some cases, surgical intervention like functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for improved sinus drainage.

Hearing loss is diagnosed through audiometric tests. Treatment depends on the cause and may include hearing aids, cochlear implants, or surgical procedures like stapedectomy to address specific issues in the ear structures.

Prevention involves good hygiene, avoiding exposure to secondhand smoke, and timely treatment of colds. In persistent cases, ENT specialists may recommend surgical procedures like tympanostomy tube insertion to prevent recurrent infections and improve ear ventilation.
