Christopher J. Pastras is an Otolaryngologist based in Sydney, working from 92-94 Parramatta Road, Sydney, NSW 2050, Australia. If you’re dealing with ear problems that don’t seem to settle, or dizziness that keeps coming back, this clinic can help you get things properly checked.
Otolaryngology is all about the ear, nose, and throat. In many cases, hearing and balance issues can be linked, so the focus is on looking at the whole picture, not just one symptom. Vertigo, for example, can feel scary and disruptive, especially when it affects work, driving, or everyday tasks.
Christopher treats a range of common but frustrating conditions. This includes Meniere Disease, which often causes episodes of vertigo along with changes to hearing and a sense of pressure in the ear. He also looks after people with hearing loss, including hearing changes that build up over time or happen after an infection or noise exposure.
There’s also care for labyrinthitis. This can cause sudden dizziness and nausea, and it may follow a viral illness. At times it can be tough to tell what’s going on at home, so getting an assessment matters, especially when dizziness is severe or lasts longer than you’d expect.
Another part of the work is occupational hearing loss. Many people in trades, factories, or on building sites get regular noise exposure, and the effects can show up gradually. The goal here is to find out what’s happening, check how it’s affecting hearing, and talk through practical next steps.
Appointments are usually about listening first, then working out what tests or checks make sense. That might include looking at the ear directly and organising hearing tests when they’re needed. Over time, the right plan can make day-to-day life feel more manageable, whether the main issue is hearing, balance, or both.
If you’re worried about your symptoms, it helps to bring notes about what you’re experiencing, when it started, and what seems to trigger it. Calm, clear information can make the visit easier, and it helps guide the conversation about treatment options.
