An ENT doctor focuses on problems concerning the ear, nose, and throat:
Ear - conditions affecting the ears that cause hearing impairment, ear infections, disorders that affect balance, tinnitus, and ear pain.
Nose - conditions affecting the nose, nasal cavities, and sinuses that cause problems with the sense of smell, breathing, and physical appearance.
Throat - conditions affecting the throat that cause problems with speech, singing, eating, swallowing, and digestion.
ENT doctors also address issues affecting the neck and head, including diseases, tumors, trauma, and deformities of the head, neck, and face. Additionally, they can perform cosmetic and reconstructive surgery to address issues in these areas.
