Otolaryngology (ENT)

Otolaryngology, also known as ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat), is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the ears, nose, throat, and related head and neck structures. ENT doctors address issues such as hearing loss, ear infections, sinus problems, allergies, voice or swallowing disorders, and sleep irregularities like snoring or sleep apnea. They perform both medical and surgical treatments, aiming to improve patients' breathing, hearing, and overall quality of life. This field combines elements of medicine and surgery to manage a wide range of common and complex conditions affecting these interconnected areas.
