Looking for an ear doctor, nose doctor, throat doctor or hearing specialist? An ENT specialist is the medical term for a doctor who treats conditions of the ear, nose and throat, including ear infections, hearing loss, sinus problems, nasal blockage, tonsil issues, snoring, sleep apnoea and voice problems. Many patients search for a sinus doctor or an ear pain doctor before they know the term ENT. In India, a qualified ear nose throat doctor holds MBBS followed by MS (ENT) or DNB. For hearing loss and cochlear implants, look for a specialist with dedicated audiology support.
