Otolaryngology is a medical specialty that diagnoses and treats diseases and disorders that affect the ear, nose, and throat (ENT), as well as other structures related to the head and neck. Physicians who are trained in this medical specialty are generally referred to as ENT doctors. There are seven areas of expertise in the field of otolaryngology; these include allergy, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, head and neck, laryngology (diseases of the throat), otology and neurotology (diseases of the ears and nerve pathways), pediatric otolaryngology, and rhinology (diseases of the nose).
