Sinus communicate via narrow passages called ostia with the nasal cavity. They naturally produce mucous, which is wafted by means of cilia (microscopic hairs) through these ostia and into the nasal cavity.
We are passionate about providing personalised patient-driven assessment and care through honest and empathetic decision-making. We work closely with our ENT surgeons in a friendly and relaxed professional multi-disciplinary team practice.

The voice is the sound that air makes when it is forced out of your lungs and passes over your vocal cords. Vocal cords are the 2 folds of tissue inside your larynx, also called the voice box. The vibration of those cords is what produces speech.
