An ENT doctor, also called an otolaryngologist, treats conditions affecting the ear, nose, throat, sinuses, voice, head, and neck. Common reasons to visit an ENT include chronic sinus infections, allergies, hearing loss, ear infections, tonsil issues, snoring, sleep apnea, dizziness, and throat or voice problems.

You may want to see an ENT specialist if you have ongoing sinus pressure, frequent ear infections, trouble hearing, chronic nasal congestion, repeated sore throats, hoarseness, dizziness, or snoring that affects sleep. An ENT can help find the cause of your symptoms and explain treatment options.

Referral requirements depend on your insurance plan. Some patients can schedule directly with an ENT, while others may need a referral from a primary care provider. Contact your insurance company or the ENT office before your visit to confirm what is required.

Yes. An ENT can evaluate chronic or recurring sinus problems and look for possible causes such as allergies, nasal polyps, a deviated septum, or ongoing inflammation. Treatment may include medications, allergy management, in-office procedures, or surgery when appropriate.

Many ENT specialists treat allergies that affect the nose, sinuses, ears, and throat. Symptoms may include sneezing, congestion, postnasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy eyes, and recurring sinus infections. Treatment options may include allergy testing, medication, environmental changes, or immunotherapy.

Yes. ENT doctors evaluate hearing loss, tinnitus, ear pressure, earwax buildup, ear infections, and balance concerns. Depending on your symptoms, your visit may include an ear exam, hearing test, or referral to an audiologist.

During an ENT appointment, the provider reviews your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. They may examine your ears, nose, throat, neck, and airway. Depending on your concern, additional testing such as a hearing test, nasal endoscopy, allergy testing, or imaging may be recommended.
