An ENT, or otolaryngologist, is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions related to the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck. Beyond common issues like ear infections or sore throats, ENTs manage complex cases including sinus disorders, sleep apnea, thyroid problems, tumors, and even facial reconstructive surgery. They provide both surgical and non-surgical treatments, helping patients improve breathing, hearing, speaking, and overall quality of life. Knowing when to see an ENT—such as for persistent sinus pain, hearing loss, or chronic throat issues—can ensure timely, effective care.
