ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat)

ENT, or otolaryngology, is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck. ENT specialists, also known as otolaryngologists, are trained to manage a diverse range of conditions, including hearing loss, ear infections, sinusitis, allergies, tonsillitis, voice disorders, swallowing disorders, and head and neck cancers. They use various diagnostic tools and procedures, such as endoscopy, imaging studies, and audiometry, to assess and treat patients. ENT specialists may perform surgical procedures, such as tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, septoplasty, sinus surgery, and head and neck cancer surgery, to alleviate symptoms and improve patients' quality of life.
