What Does an ENT Specialist Do?
An ENT specialist, also known as an Otolaryngologist, is a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats conditions related to the ear, nose, and throat (ENT), as well as related areas of the head and neck. Here’s what an ENT specialist typically does:
1. Ear (Otology):
- Hearing problems: Diagnoses and treats hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and balance disorders.
- Infections: Treats ear infections, including middle ear infections (otitis media) and outer ear infections.
- Ear conditions: Manages conditions like earwax buildup, ruptured eardrums, and cholesteatoma (abnormal skin growth in the ear).
2. Nose (Rhinology):
- Sinus problems: Treats sinus infections (sinusitis), nasal polyps, and allergies that affect the sinuses and nasal passages.
- Nasal obstruction: Addresses conditions like a deviated septum or chronic congestion that impact breathing.
- Smell disorders: Helps with loss of sense of smell or abnormal smell perception.
3. Throat (Laryngology):
- Voice disorders: Treats hoarseness, laryngitis, and vocal cord problems.
- Swallowing difficulties: Addresses issues with swallowing, such as dysphagia, which can arise from neurological or structural problems.
- Tonsils and adenoids: Treats conditions related to enlarged tonsils or adenoids, including sleep apnea.
4. Head and Neck:
- Tumors and cancers: Diagnoses and treats cancers of the head, neck, and throat, including cancers of the larynx, mouth, and thyroid.
- Facial trauma and deformities: Treats injuries and deformities of the face, including broken noses or fractures to the jaw or skull.
ENT specialists use a variety of diagnostic tools, such as endoscopy, hearing tests, and imaging (CT scans or MRIs), to evaluate and treat these conditions. They may recommend medications, therapy, or surgeries, depending on the nature of the issue. ENT specialists may also perform surgeries, such as tonsillectomies, sinus surgeries, or cochlear implants.
