ENT, or Ear, Nose, and Throat, is a medical specialty focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting these interconnected areas, collectively known as otolaryngology. ENT specialists, or otolaryngologists, address a wide range of issues, including hearing loss, ear infections, sinusitis, nasal allergies, voice disorders, and throat infections. They also treat structural problems such as deviated septums, tonsil and adenoid diseases, and sleep apnea. In addition to medical management, ENT doctors perform surgeries like tonsillectomies, sinus surgeries, and cochlear implant procedures. Their expertise ensures comprehensive care for sensory functions like hearing and balance and essential activities such as breathing, swallowing, and speaking.
