ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat)

ENT, or Ear, Nose, and Throat, refers to a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating conditions related to these interconnected areas. ENT specialists, also known as otolaryngologists, manage issues like ear infections, hearing loss, sinus problems, allergies, voice disorders, and throat conditions. They handle both medical treatments and surgeries when needed. Because these areas are linked, ENT doctors work to improve functions such as hearing, breathing, and speech, enhancing overall quality of life. The specialty plays a crucial role in addressing a wide range of disorders affecting these critical senses and functions.
