The Ears- ENT specialists are trained in both the medical and surgical
treatment of hearing, ear infections, balance disorders, ear noise (tinnitus),
nerve pain, and facial and cranial nerve disorders. Otolaryngologists also
manage congenital (birth) disorders of the outer and inner ear.

The Nose - Care of the nasal cavity and sinuses is one of the primary
skills of otolaryngologists. Difficulty breathing through the nose due to
chronic sinusitis or a deviated septum, as well as the appearance of the
nose are very important issues dealt with by the ENT.

The Throat - Tonsillitis and recurrent strep throats are very common
in children, but adults get them too. Also specific to otolaryngologists is
expertise in managing diseases of the larynx (voice box) and the upper
digestive tract or esophagus, including voice and swallowing disorders.

The Head and Neck- In the head and neck area, otolaryngologists are
trained to treat infectious diseases, both benign and malignant (cancerous)
tumors, facial trauma, and deformities of the face. They routinely perform
both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
