An ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist, also known as an otolaryngologist, is a medical doctor who focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the ears, nose, and throat. They handle a variety of issues, including hearing loss, sinus infections, allergies, and throat disorders. ENT specialists also perform surgeries when necessary, such as tonsillectomies or ear tube placements. They work with patients of all ages, from children with ear infections to adults with complex sinus problems, ensuring comprehensive care for a wide range of health concerns.
