Otologist

An otologist is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the ear, including hearing loss, balance disorders, ear infections, and ear injuries. They have specialized training beyond general ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctors specifically focused on the complex structures of the ear. Otologists often perform surgeries such as cochlear implants or procedures to repair damaged ear parts. They also manage chronic conditions like tinnitus or vertigo. Their expertise helps improve patients' hearing, balance, and overall ear health through medical and surgical interventions.
