An otolaryngologist, often referred to as an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor, specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the head and neck. They manage a variety of issues, including hearing loss, sinus infections, allergies, and throat disorders. Their expertise also extends to surgical procedures involving the ears, nose, and throat. In addition to treating common ailments, otolaryngologists can address more complex conditions such as sleep apnea and head and neck cancers. They often work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care, ensuring patients receive the best possible treatment for their specific needs.
