When to See an Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist
March 22, 2010
From swimmer's ear to tonsillitis, otolaryngologists – or ENT specialists – help treat problems of the ears, nose, and throat.
​
Otolaryngology is the medical specialty that deals with disorders and conditions of the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) region, and related areas of the head and neck. If you have a problem that is related to your ear, nose, or throat, you may need to see an ENT specialist, who is also called an ear, nose, and throat doctor or an otolaryngologist.
