The ears, nose, and throat are all interconnected. Specialists called ENT doctors treat conditions affecting all of them. If you have recurring problems in your ears, nose, or throat that your primary care doctor can’t effectively treat, getting a referral to an ENT is your next step. This is especially true for ear problems.
Earaches can be debilitating, and since you need your ears to hear, you need to make sure you get them checked out.
Some ear infections or other ear conditions can lead to hearing loss or impairment if they aren’t treated effectively. If you’re having recurring ear problems, seeing an ENT doctor for an ear exam is essential to ensure you can preserve your hearing and alleviate your symptoms.
ENT doctors offer solutions beyond those offered by primary care physicians, and some of those solutions are discussed in the video posted above. They include minor surgical procedures and treatments for hearing loss or impairment. If your ear problems are connected to problems in your sinuses or throat, only an ENT doctor will be able to give you the right diagnosis and treatment.
