About ENT Specialists
An ENT specialist, sometimes called an otolaryngologist, diagnoses and treats problems related to the ears, nose and throat. Patients may be referred to an ENT if hearing test results from an audiologist are abnormal, or if they have frequent infections that affect these three areas of the head. Some ENT specialists also handle problems with the head and neck.
