What is an Otolaryngologist (ENT)?
An otolaryngologist, commonly known as an ENT specialist, is a medical expert who diagnoses and treats disorders of the ear, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck. ENTs offer both medical and surgical care, providing comprehensive solutions for a wide range of conditions that affect your senses, breathing, voice, and balance.
Their expertise covers three main fields:
Otology (ear conditions like hearing loss and balance disorders)
Rhinology (nose and sinus disorders)
Laryngology (throat, voice, and swallowing issues)
Over time, ENT specialists have also expanded their care to include cervico-facial conditions, diseases affecting the neck and face.
