A sinus infection (or sinusitis) occurs when the tissue lining in your sinus cavity becomes swollen or inflamed. When your sinuses are blocked, they become a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses that can lead to an infection. That’s why it’s best to visit your doctor at the first signs of a sinus infection. Otherwise, it could lead to a chronic condition. Here’s how to know if your sinus infection has developed into something more dangerous: Swelling If you experience swelling around your eyes, this can be a red flag for severe sinusitis. You may just be having an allergic reaction, or it could be something more concerning like an infection in your eye. Ask your doctor about using over-the-counter anti-inflammatories to ease the swelling. Pain When there is excessive pain in your eyes, ears, head or throat, you likely have a severe sinus infection. And if you can’t open your eyes or you feel dizzy, these are major warning signs that your sinusitis is at a dangerous level. If not properly treated, you may incur infections in your ears, throat and even your brain (called meningitis.) Fever Your body’s natural way of eliminating infection is typically accompanied by a low-grade fever. But if your pain and other symptoms are compounded by a fever greater than 101 degrees, see your doctor. It may mean the infection has spread. Feeling Disoriented If you find yourself confused about a task you’re performing or if you forget basic information, it may be a sign that the infection has affected your brain. Seek medical attention at once. A Persistent Infection Most sinus infections last from a couple of days to a few weeks and are not a serious medical concern, but if left untreated, sinusitis can lead to further complications. These include nasal polyps, a deviated septum and serious allergies. If your infection doesn’t go away after four weeks, it’s time to call your doctor. For more information about identifying and treating a sinus infection, or to learn more about the other services we provide, please call our office at 732-280-7855 or visit our website.

Buzzing, swishing, clicking or ringing sounds in your ears usually, points to one thing – tinnitus. The most common cause of tinnitus is prolonged exposure to loud sounds, which causes permanent damage to the cells of the cochlea, a small organ in the inner ear. Among those whose jobs put them at risk for tinnitus are pilots, rock musicians, carpenters, street repair workers, and landscapers. While tinnitus itself isn’t an illness, it is a symptom of other conditions, including: - Ear infections - Hearing loss - Wax buildup in the ear caused by an ear infection, or in rare cases, a benign tumor of the auditory nerve - Aging, where the cochlea deteriorates over time - Exposure to loud noise - Trauma to the ear - Certain medications like aspirin, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, anti-depressants and sedatives - Medication conditions such as anemia, high blood pressure, heart disease, allergies, underactive thyroid gland and diabetes - Head or neck injury - Meniere’s disease, which targets the inner part of the ear - Pregnancy - Brain tumor or other tumors near the ear Tinnitus symptoms may come and go, but if you experience this condition, it’s likely to be a recurring condition. Most people are not bothered by it, but if tinnitus is interfering with you’re ability to perform routine daily activities, schedule an evaluation with your doctor. This is especially important if the tinnitus occurs only on one side, comes on suddenly or is accompanied by hearing loss.

Changes to the ears can occur for many reasons. For many, various medical conditions can impair our hearing. For others, the aging process can deprive us the ability to perform well when we need to most. Tens of millions of Americas report various issues hearing, including in the presence of background noise, on the television, or with soft speakers. Hearing aids allow the user the opportunity to drastically improve in conditions like these, vastly improving communication and quality of life. Coastal Ear, Nose, and Throat has a vast array of options to assist all hearing needs.

While over-the-counter & COSTCO hearing aids are beneficial, you do not receive the specialized care that you would at Coastal Hearing and Balance Center. We are here to serve those with hearing loss and balance or dizziness problems. Our expert Audiologists administer hearing and balance testing and work closely with our physicians to determine the appropriate rehabilitation for your problems.

While our office does its best to help patients understand their financial responsibilities for services provided by our office, it is ultimately the patient’s responsibility to understand their benefits and we recommend you contact your insurance company directly with benefit questions. If our office has a contract with your insurance company, we are required to collect any patient responsibility amounts, like copays, deductibles, and coinsurance. DEDUCTIBLE: The amount you pay for covered health care services before your insurance plan starts to pay. For example, if you have a $2,000 deductible, you will pay the first $2,000 of covered services out of pocket. After your deductible has been met, you will be required to pay a co-payment or coinsurance for covered services. Your insurance company will pay the remainder. CO-PAYMENT: A fixed amount required payment for a covered health care service after you’ve paid your deductible. Co-payments (often referred to as “copays”) can vary for different services within the same plan, like medications, lab tests and visits to specialists. COINSURANCE: The amount, generally expressed as a fixed percentage, an insured must pay toward a covered claim after the deductible has been met. It is very common in medical insurance. One of the most common coinsurance breakdowns is the 80/20 split. The insurance company pays 80%, the insured (patient) pays 20%. A coinsurance provision is similar to a copay except copays require the insured (patient) to pay a set dollar amount at the time of the service, and coinsurance is a percentage amount SCOPE PROCEDURE BREAKDOWN: During your office visit your provider may determine based on your symptoms, physical exam and/or history that an in-office procedure called Diagnostic Endoscopy (scope) is medically necessary. This procedure provides valuable clinical information when there may be a condition or disease in the nose or throat that is not adequately visualized on routine exam. Declining this procedure may lead to an incorrect or lack of diagnosis, which may adversely impact the patient’s treatment and outcome. The procedure is done using a fiber optic or rigid endoscope. Nasal spray is used to shrink and numb the nasal membranes. The scope is usually passed through the nose so structures in the nose, mouth, and throat can be directly observed. Please note that insurance companies consider diagnostic endoscopy an in-office surgical procedure and may assign additional financial responsibility to the patient when processing a claim. QUESTION: “I paid my copay when I was in office, why am I being charged an additional copay?” ANSWER: When a patient is being seen by multiple providers on the same day, some insurance companies apply 2 copays = 1 per provider/claim Additional Links: https://www.goodrx.com/insurance/health-insurance/coinsurance-vs-copay-deductible-out-of-pocket-maximum https://www.healthmarkets.com/resources/health-insurance/difference-copayment-coinsurance https://www.investopedia.com/articles/insurance/120816/coinsurance-vs-copay-why-you-need-know-difference.asp
