ear nose throat doctor 


duties and responsibilities

Ear, nose, and throat specialists, also known as otolaryngologists or ENT specialists, are medical doctors responsible for surgical and medical treatment of the ears, nose, and throat, as well as the related head and neck areas. Specialized skills of otolaryngologists include managing disorders of the upper pharynx and oral cavity, larynx (voice box), ears, nose and nasal passage, and face and neck. Almost all ENT specialists regularly handle cases like nosebleeds, adenoidectomies, infected mastoids, tonsillectomies, and sinusitis.
Otolaryngologists focusing on the ears treat hearing disorders, infections, balance disorders, nerve pain, ear noise (tinnitus), and cranial nerve disorders. ENT specialists of the nose deal with patients suffering from chronic sinusitis. Throat specialists treat diseases of the larynx, esophagus, and upper aero-digestive tract, including swallowing and voice disorders. Medical specialists treating problems in the head and neck regions deal with tumors, infectious diseases, deformities, and facial trauma.

salary-$205,000 

education 

Ear, nose, and throat specialists must complete at least five years of training in a surgical residency. This comprises a one-year course in general surgery and a four-year course in otolaryngology. Most start their medical education with a bachelor of science degree, but those with a bachelor of arts degree are also accepted into some medical school program

demand 

This is especially true for otolaryngologists.  The demand for ENT doctors is high and is expected to increase.  Compensation in this medical specialty is very competitive, making an ENT among the highest paid of all specializing physicians.  Because ENTs are also surgeons, they earn a substantial income of over $400,000.  ENTs who did not complete a surgical residency earn significantly less, approximately $200,000.
