Types of Ear Doctors
A doctor who specializes in problems
of the ear, nose and throat are
normally called an ENT or an
Otolaryngologist.
If the doctor has additional training
in the medical and surgical
management of dizziness,hearing
loss, and tumors of the ear they may
be called an Otologist.
If the doctor has additional training
in diagnosing and treating nasal
related disorders, then they might
be called an Otorhynolaryngologist .
It's important to be examined by at
least one of these medical
professionals when dealing with a
hearing loss, since there are many
conditions which may be related to
hearing loss that might require
medical attention, rather than just a
hearing aid. Some of these
conditions can be life threatening.
Some can be treated. If you have a
hearing loss ... and haven't seen one
of these medical professionals, you
should make an appointment soon.
