Headaches
Sinusitis
Chronic sinusitis is a common affliction that affects an estimated 37 million Americans each year. The condition is marked by inflammation of the sinuses that blocks the nasal passages, causing chronic infections. Symptoms include nasal congestion, sinus pain and pressure, loss of smell and taste, nasal discharge, headache, fatigue and depression.
Ear Infections
Ear infections can occur in the outer or middle ear. An ear infection occurs in the middle ear when fluid becomes trapped following a viral or bacterial infection. This painful affliction is most common in children, but can affect people of all ages. Infections can also occur in the outer ear. They are most common when the skin in the outer ear is dry and cracked. Ear infections can be either acute (of short duration) or chronic (persisting or reoccurring frequently).
Sleep Disorders
With offices in Hermitage and Lebanon, we provide patients all over middle Tennessee with treatment for a wide range of ear, nose and throat conditions including head and neck cancer, sinus disease, allergies, sleep disorders and facial aesthetics. We have an allergy department that performs testing and offers allergy shots and sublingual drops to fit your needs. Our doctors of audiology provide patients of all ages with onsite comprehensive hearing tests and the most up-to-date treatment for hearing loss.
Immunizations
Make sure your child is vaccinated. Immunizations offer protection from many childhood infections that can cause hearing damage.

Pregnancy

Endoscopy
Your doctor will diagnose non-allergic rhinitis based on your symptoms and medical history, and will want to rule out an allergic cause through skin and blood tests. Sinus problems present similar symptoms, so you may also need a nasal endoscopy or CT scan to rule out nasal polyps or a deviated septum.

Multiple Sclerosis
Central vertigo occurs when there is a problem in the brain, usually affecting the brainstem or the cerebellum. These parts of the brain are responsible for interactions between the visual and balance systems; any disturbance can lead to vertigo. The most common cause of central vertigo is a migraine headache. Other less common conditions that can trigger central vertigo include stroke, tumors, acoustic neuroma, multiple sclerosis, alcohol and certain drugs.

Mental Health
Improved Mental Health: Those that treat their hearing loss have a decrease in feelings of depression, anger and anxiety.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
There are many possible causes of dizziness including low blood pressure, anemia, dehydration, heat-related disorders, endocrine system disorders (e.g., diabetes, thyroid disease), heart conditions, high blood pressure, viral and bacterial infections, head trauma, hyperventilation, neurological disorders and certain medications.

MRI
We will carefully examine your nose using a lighted scope and may use a CT scan or MRI in order to diagnose your nasal obstruction. The first step in treating nasal obstructions is getting the symptoms under control. Medications or nasal steroid sprays are often helpful in reducing inflammation of the nose and turbinates and providing immediate, short-term relief.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
To confirm a nasal fracture, your doctor will perform a physical exam. He or she will press on the sides of your nose and look inside your nostrils for signs of broken bones. Topical anesthetics may be applied before the physical exam to control the pain. An imaging test is usually unnecessary, but based on the severity of your injury a CT scan may be required if a physical exam is too painful to be performed.
Chemotherapy
Some drugs cause damage to the sensory cells responsible for hearing. These include certain antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, salicylate pain relievers (e.g., aspirin), quinine (for treating malaria) and diuretics. In order to reduce your odds of hearing loss when taking medications, follow these tips...
Radiation Therapy
There are many other possible causes including Alzheimerâ€™s disease, brain tumor, aneurysm, diabetes, cocaine use, chemical exposure, malnutrition, hormonal imbalances, medications, Parkinsonâ€™s disease, rhinoplasty, radiation therapy and old age, among others.

Otolaryngology
C.K. Hiranya Gowda, M.D., was the original founder of our medical practice in 1973. He began practice at that time in Donelson, TN, and performed most of his operations at Donelson Hospital. Many years later, in 1996, the practice relocated to the new Summit Medical Center Campus attached to Summit Hospital. In 1998, the practice was called Gowda Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic. Dr. Gowda continued to practice Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery until his retirement in 2006. Our practice continues to follow the high standards for excellence in patient care as established by Dr. Gowda. The practice moved to its current location in 2006 in the Summit Outpatient Center on the campus of Summit Medical Center and was renamed to Allergy & ENT Associates of Middle Tennessee in 2009. Currently, our five physicians are Dr. Lee Bryant, Dr. Scott Fortune, Dr. Justin Morgan, Dr. Robert Frank, and Dr. Amit Patel.
Reconstructive Surgery

Plastic Surgeons

Rhinoplasty

Cyst
Lesions
Laser Surgery. Lasers focus a beam of light on the inferior turbinate to create lesions that allow for removal. This is a minimally invasive procedure with few complications or side effects. However, the mucosa may regenerate, and additional laser treatments may be needed.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
Treatment varies depending on the type and severity of vertigo. Some forms disappear without treatment. The most common type, BPPV, responds well to head maneuvers, while other types are successfully treated with medication. When the condition persists, physical therapy can help.
Occupational Therapy
Options include medications (antihistamines, sedatives, antibiotics, steroids), physical or occupational therapy, surgery, repositioning exercises, vestibular retraining programs and lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes and elimination of alcohol and nicotine).

Allergies
Rhinitis is similar to hay fever, but is caused by something other than an allergen. Dubbed non-allergic rhinitis to differentiate the two, it produces cold-like symptoms that can leave you feeling miserable and worn-down. It may take allergy testing to rule out hay fever and accurately diagnose non-allergic rhinitis.
