Good HNO for jaw recession/sleep apnea?
if you're near wedding, try dr. kirsten klein at hno am schillerpark. she's big on checking the whole airway, not just the nose. she sent me to the schlafmedizin at vivantes auguste-viktoria which did a drug-induced sleep endoscopy, not just a standard sleep study. that's where they actually see where your airway collapses while you're under light sedation. cost about 200 euro out of pocket for the scope part if your insurance doesn't cover it, but it's way more precise than a basic home test
Skip the smaller practices and go straight to the HNO at the Schlafmedizinisches Zentrum at Charite Campus Benjamin Franklin. Dr. Ingo Fietze runs the place and he's one of the few in Berlin who treats jaw recession as a structural airway issue, not just a nasal problem. They'll do a full 3D airway analysis in house and actually discuss surgical options like MMA or even just a mandibular advancement device. You'll wait a few months for the initial appointment, but it's worth not having to fight with a third HNO who wants to operate on your nose.
Dr. Bettina Wollenberg at HNO am Gendarmenmarkt is worth a visit. She was the first HNO who actually looked at my jaw position during the exam instead of just shining a light up my nose. She referred me directly to the Schlafmedizinisches Zentrum at the St. Joseph Krankenhaus in Tempelhof, which does cone beam CT scans to measure airway volume. The whole process took about six weeks from her referral to getting my sleep study results.

What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
