ENT, also known as Otorhinolaryngology, is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck. ENT specialists, or otolaryngologists, manage a wide range of conditions including ear infections, hearing loss, sinus problems, nasal congestion, throat infections, voice disorders, and sleep-related issues like snoring and sleep apnea.
In addition to treating common conditions, ENT specialists are trained in surgical procedures such as tonsillectomy, sinus surgery, cochlear implants, and removal of head and neck tumors. They also manage facial trauma, congenital abnormalities, and cosmetic or reconstructive surgeries involving the face and neck.
ENT care is essential for maintaining vital functions like hearing, breathing, speaking, and swallowing. The specialty serves both children and adults, offering personalized treatment plans that combine medical and surgical solutions to improve quality of life and restore normal function.
