infections, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and ear pain. They are also experts in
performing Cochlear Implant (CI) Surgeries that use special technologies to
mimic natural hearing for patients who are hard of hearing or profoundly deaf.
? Nose: ENT specialists can manage and treat issues affecting the nose,
sinuses, and nasal cavity that can lead to breathing difficulties, loss of smell,
and changes in physical appearance.

eating, digestion, swallowing, and singing. ENT specialists can identify,
manage, and treat such problems.
? Head and Neck: ENT specialists are trained to manage tumors, diseases,
trauma, and defects in the head, neck, and face. They can perform cosmetic
and reconstructive surgeries in these areas and manage issues with the
