FAQ's Related to ENT Surgeon

An ENT surgeon is a physician trained in the surgical and medical care of head, ear, nose, throat, and neck disorders. The tests required before and during the consultation by an ENT surgeon include:

  • Otoscopy
  • Throat Culture Test
  • Nasal Endoscopy

Tympanometry is a common hearing test. In this test, air and sound are directed to the middle ear to find if there are changes in pressure in the middle ear. This test helps the doctor find out how the middle ear is functioning.

Different ENT conditions produce different symptoms. Your general physician will refer you to an ENT specialist for a better diagnosis and treatment of your symptoms. Some of the symptoms which you need to discuss with an ENT specialist are:

  1. Sore throat, sinus pain, ear aches
  2. Snoring that is linked with breathing problems
  3. Tinnitus (ringing sound in your ears)
  4. Vertigo, problems with your balance, dizziness
  5. Losing hearing, voice or sense of smell
  6. Blockage in the airway
  7. Difficulty swallowing
  8. Deformities affecting the neck and head

An ENT surgeon will evaluate your symptoms and perform the required tests to find out the underlying conditions. They will analyze the test reports and may discuss with other doctors to determine the best possible treatment options.
