You should visit an ENT doctor if you experience:

• Chronic sinus issues or frequent sinus infections
• Persistent ear infections or ear pain
• Hearing loss or ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
• Throat pain, voice changes, or difficulty swallowing
• Dizziness, vertigo, or balance problems
• Sleep apnea symptoms, such as snoring or trouble breathing while sleeping

An ENT doctor treats a wide range of conditions, including:

• Sinus infections and chronic sinusitis
• Ear infections, hearing loss, and tinnitus
• Tonsillitis and sore throats
• Sleep apnea and snoring disorders
• Dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders
• Voice disorders and swallowing difficulties
• Nasal congestion, allergies, and deviated septums

You should see an ENT specialist if you have ongoing or recurring ear, nose, or throat issues that a primary care doctor can’t fully treat. Common reasons include:

• Chronic ear infections or hearing problems
• Persistent sinus pain or congestion that doesn’t improve with standard treatment
• Frequent sore throats or voice changes
• Difficulty swallowing or other throat concerns
• Snoring or sleep apnea issues
• Thyroid, parathyroid, or neck problems

ENT specialists provide expert care for these conditions with advanced diagnostics and treatment options tailored to each patient.
