The Otolaryngology Department, often referred to as the ENT Clinic, provides specialized medical and surgical care to children, infancy through adolescence, who have problems with their ears, noses or throats.

Staff in the ENT Clinic also screen the child's speech and language skills. Although these skills develop differently in each child, if your child is not progressing, there may be a physical reason. If you are concerned, we are here to evaluate and treat your child. In addition, we work closely with the Master's Speech and Hearing Center, which is located near the ENT Clinic at Children's Hospital.

Meet Dr. Chun and learn more about the ENT Clinic at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin by watching the following video:

The ENT Clinic offers a variety of services including:

  • Universal Infant Hearing Screening Program. Every infant born in the Froedtert Birth Center at Children's Hospital has his or her hearing evaluated to identify possible hearing loss before leaving the hospital.
  • Cochlear implantation.
  • Diagnostic techniques, including the use of microscopic otoscopy and videoendoscopic evaluation of the nose, nasopharynx and voice box.

We diagnose and treat the following:

  • Craniofacial abnormalities, including cleft palate.
  • Ear, nose and throat diseases, including ear infections, sinusitis, tonsillitis.
  • Facial and neck masses.
  • Facial trauma.
  • Hearing loss.
  • Speech, language and voice disorders.
  • Swallowing disorders.
