This specialty covers a wide range of conditions, offering both medical and surgical solutions. Here’s a closer look at the scope of their work:

Ear Disorders: ENT specialists treat conditions affecting the ear, which can impact hearing and balance. This includes infections, hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and balance disorders like vertigo. They may perform surgeries such as tympanoplasty (repair of the eardrum) or cochlear implants for severe hearing loss.

Throat Conditions: ENT doctors manage diseases of the throat, larynx (voice box), and esophagus, including voice disorders, swallowing disorders, and throat infections. They may perform procedures to remove tonsils (tonsillectomy) or adenoids (adenoidectomy) or surgeries to treat sleep apnea and snoring.

Head and Neck Cancer: They are trained to diagnose and treat cancers of the head and neck region, including the thyroid gland and salivary glands. Treatment may involve surgery to remove tumors, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy, often in collaboration with oncologists.

Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Many ENT specialists also have expertise in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, addressing issues from cosmetic surgery (like rhinoplasty) to reconstructive surgeries following trauma or cancer surgery.
