What are ENT services?

Otolaryngology is the branch and specialty of medicine that studies the ears, nose, and throat. ENT services support your health by offering diagnostic testing and treatment to these important structures. They act as the entryway into other areas of the body and are in constant contact with the outside environment, which increases the risk that something could go wrong.

At South Lake Ears Nose and Throat, Hearing and Tinnitus Center, the team provides countless ENT services for several conditions, which include:

• Allergies
• Hearing loss
• Sinusitis
• Tinnitus
• Balance problems
• Vocal cord damage

Keep track of symptoms indicating these conditions. Common symptoms include frequent aches, loss of smell, abnormal bumps, and hearing inconsistencies.

How do ENT services promote my health?

Your ears, nose, and throat provide several essential functions for everyday life, like balance, smell, swallowing, hearing, breathing, and chewing. While it’s not often consciously realized, these functions occur extremely regularly, and it’s easy to take many of these simple tasks for granted.

Are there any risks with ENT services?

Any risks associated with ENT services depend on your unique condition, symptoms, and the treatments you receive. There are many tools the team may use for ENT services. Medications, medical instruments, and diagnostic tools, such as X-Rays, may be utilized to serve your health best.
