An ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the ears, nose, throat, sinuses, voice box, head, and neck. Common conditions include hearing loss, ear infections, sinusitis, allergies, tonsillitis, nasal polyps, tinnitus, dizziness, and sleep apnea.
You should visit an ENT specialist if you have persistent ear pain, hearing loss, ringing in the ears, chronic sinus infections, frequent nosebleeds, sore throat lasting more than two weeks, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, dizziness, or breathing problems.
In many cases, you can schedule an appointment directly with an ENT specialist. However, some insurance plans may require a referral from your primary care physician. It’s best to check with your insurance provider beforehand.
Your first visit typically includes a review of your medical history, discussion of your symptoms, a physical examination of the ears, nose, and throat, and, if needed, diagnostic tests such as hearing tests, nasal endoscopy, or tympanometry.
A hearing test, also known as Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA), measures your ability to hear sounds of different pitches and volumes. It helps diagnose the type and severity of hearing loss.
Tympanometry is a quick, painless test that evaluates how well your eardrum moves. It helps detect middle ear infections, fluid behind the eardrum, eustachian tube dysfunction, and other middle ear problems.

No. Nasal endoscopy is generally not painful. Most patients experience only mild pressure or slight discomfort. A local anesthetic spray may be used to make the procedure more comfortable.
Most ENT endoscopy procedures take between 5 and 15 minutes and are performed in the clinic without the need for general anesthesia.
