Your ears, nose, and throat form a complex, interrelated system. The outer and inner ear, your sinuses, and your mouth and throat are all connected and affect one another greatly. For disorders of the ears, nose and throat, you should see an ENT specialist.

The clinical term for the medical and surgical disciplines that deal with the ears, nose and throat is otolaryngology. Otolaryngologists specialize in treatments of a wide variety of disorders that can affect the head and neck including:

• treatment of allergic, sinus, laryngeal, thyroid and esophageal disorders
  • new - balloon sinuplasty™
• facial reconstruction
• surgery of benign and malignant tumors
  • treatment for acoustic neuroma
• management of hearing and balance loss
  • cochlear implants
• endoscopic examination of air and food passages
