What is Otolaryngology?

Otolaryngology is an abbreviation for otorhinolaryngology which is taken from the Greek words for ear (oto), nose (rhino) and throat (larynx). The study of otolaryngology has expanded over the years and now is considered a regional specialty including structures of the head and neck. Otolaryngologists are also known as ENT specialists as a shortened version of Ears Nose & Throat.

Ears - The treatment of hearing disorders is unique to otolaryngologists. Among the issues treated are diseases and infections of the ear structures, Eustachian tube problems, congenital deformities, and hearing loss from a variety of sources.
Nose - Disorders of the nose contribute to breathing problems and result from structural issues within the nasal cavity, inflammation, and infection of the sinuses due to allergies and exposure to irritants, and associated disorders of the ears, mouth, throat, head, and neck.
Throat - The diagnosis and treatment of disorders of areas in the throat include the tongue, throat tissues, larynx, and esophagus. They include issues with vocalizing and swallowing.
Head & Neck - Diseases and disorders affecting the face, head, and neck that often are treated by otolaryngologists include infectious processes, traumas, deformities, and tumors.
