EAR
What are you suffering from?
Ear Infection | Swimmer’s Ear | Ear Noises (Tinnitus) | Ear Wax | Hearing Loss | Dizziness
Hearing loss affects one in ten North Americans. The unique domain of otolaryngologists is the treatment of ear disorders. They are trained in both the medical and surgical treatment of hearing, ear infections, earwax, balance disorders, ear noise (tinnitus), nerve pain, earaches and facial and cranial nerve disorders. An otolaryngologist also manages congenital (birth) disorders of the outer and inner ear.
NOSE
What are you suffering from?
Post-nasal Drip | Nasal Congestion | Deviated Septum | Nosebleeds | Sinus Problems | Sinusitis | Smell and Taste Disorders
About 40 million people develop chronic sinusitis and rhinosinusitis each year, making them some of the most common health complaints in America. Care of the nasal cavity, nosebleeds and sinuses is one of the primary skills of otolaryngologists. Management of the nasal area includes allergies and sense of smell. Breathing through and the appearance of the nose are also part of otolaryngologists expertise. Post Nasal Drip can be treated under the care of an ENT doctor. Some headaches are related to sinus issues.
THROAT AND MOUTH
What are you suffering from?
Cough | Difficulty Swallowing | Breathing | Voice Changes or Hoarseness | Snoring | Sleep Apnea
Communicating (speech and singing) and eating a meal all involve this vital area. Also specific to otolaryngologists is expertise in managing diseases of the larynx (voice box) and the upper aero-digestive tract or esophagus, including voice and swallowing disorders. A related area of the body included in ENT care is the head and neck. This area includes the important nerves that control sight, smell, hearing and the face. In the head and neck area, otolaryngologists are trained to treat infectious diseases, both benign and malignant (cancerous) tumors, facial trauma, thyroids/parathyroids and deformities of the face.
