The Ears:
An Otolaryngologist specialises in the treatment of ear disorders. Both medical and surgical procedures may be used to treat hearing loss, ear infections, balance disorders, ear noise (tinnitus), nerve pain, and disorders of the facial and cranial nerves. An otolaryngologist can treat congenital disorders of the inner ear and outer ear as well.
The Nose:
Otolaryngologists specialise in treating nasal cavities and sinuses as one of their primary tasks. This includes managing allergies and the sense of smell in the nasal area. The nose's appearance and the way it breathes are also among Otolaryngologists' expertise.
The Throat:
The acts of communicating (speech and song) and eating food affect this vital area. Otolaryngologists also specialise in treating diseases of the larynx (voice box) and the upper aerodigestive tract or oesophagus, such as voice and swallowing disorders.
The Head and Neck:
Nerves in this area of the body are responsible for controlling the senses of sight, hearing, and smell. Otolaryngologists are particularly skilled at treating infections, benign and malignant (cancerous) tumours, facial injuries, and deformities of the face.
