The Phoniatric Clinic is the only state institution in the Czech Republic that can provide comprehensive diagnostic and medical care in the field of phoniatrics, audiology and clinical speech therapy (outpatient, inpatient and rehabilitation hospital and hearing center). It has a number of diagnostic and treatment options that are not available elsewhere in the Czech Republic. The advantage is the implementation of team care from diagnostics to rehabilitation care.
