Otorhinolaryngologist

An otorhinolaryngologist, often called an ENT or ear, nose, and throat doctor, is a physician who diagnoses and treats conditions of the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck. You might treat chronic sinus problems, hearing loss, ear infections, voice disorders, sleep apnea, and swallowing difficulties, or remove tumors and perform surgery such as tonsillectomies and ear tube placement. Your time divides between clinic visits, procedures in the office, and operations at surgical centers or hospitals, and you see patients from infants to older adults.
