ENT specialists treat a wide range of conditions related to the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck, including sinusitis, hearing loss, throat infections, and more.

Common symptoms include persistent ear pain, hearing loss, sinus pain, frequent sore throats, hoarseness, and dizziness.

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, often treated with medications, nasal sprays, or in severe cases, surgery.

Hearing loss is diagnosed through hearing tests and treated with hearing aids, medications, or surgical interventions, depending on the cause.

During an ENT consultation, expect a thorough examination, discussion of symptoms, and potential diagnostic tests.
