Snoring and sleep diagnostics

Snoring – More Than Just a Nighttime Noise

Many people suffer from snoring, which is often perceived as disturbing for partners or family members.
However, snoring is more than just a social issue – it can also be a sign of a serious sleep disorder.
Those affected frequently report restless sleep, morning fatigue, difficulty concentrating, or headaches.

​

Sleep Apnea Syndrome and Its Health Consequences

One of the most serious conditions is sleep apnea, a disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops during sleep.
These interruptions not only disturb deep, restorative sleep, but also increase the risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and stroke.
If left untreated, sleep-related breathing disorders can significantly reduce quality of life and pose long-term health risks.

Sleep Disorder Diagnostics at Our ENT Practice

Our practice offers state-of-the-art sleep diagnostics to identify the causes of snoring and breathing disturbances during sleep.
These include:

• Sleep recordings to detect breathing interruptions

• Examination of the upper airways

• Assessment of risk factors for snoring and sleep apnea

This comprehensive evaluation helps determine whether your condition is harmless snoring or a clinically relevant sleep-related breathing disorder.

Treatment Options for Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Based on the diagnostic results, we develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Depending on the findings, the following therapies may be recommended:

• Conservative measures (e.g. sleep hygiene, positional therapy, weight management)

• Improvement of nasal airflow through gentle reduction of the nasal turbinates

• Snoring appliances / mandibular advancement splints to keep the airways open

• Collaboration with sleep laboratories for advanced therapy in cases of severe sleep apnea

Our goal is to help you achieve quiet, restorative sleep – for more energy during the day, reduced health risks, and an improved quality of life.
