An otolaryngologist, or ENT specialist, is a medical doctor with advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the ear, nose, throat, and related areas of the head and neck. They are experts in a wide range of conditions, including hearing loss, ear infections, balance disorders, sinusitis, allergies, voice and swallowing disorders, and sleep-related issues like sleep apnea. ENT specialists also manage structural problems, such as deviated septums, tonsil and adenoid removal, and more complex surgeries, including treatment of head and neck cancers.

In addition to medical treatments, otolaryngologists perform various surgical procedures, from minimally invasive techniques to advanced operations, helping patients with everything from hearing restoration to reconstructive surgery after trauma or cancer treatment. Their comprehensive care approach blends medicine and surgery, allowing them to offer tailored solutions to improve breathing, hearing, speech, and overall well-being.
