Symptoms of an ENT condition

Ear, nose and throat symptoms affect us all.  Each year, as many as 36 million American adults report some degree of hearing loss, two-thirds of couples say their partner snores at night, and 37 million people are afflicted with sinusitis. Otolaryngologists are trained in the medical and surgical treatments of patients with diseases of the ear, nose, throat (ENT), and related structures of the head and neck. They are commonly referred to as ENT physicians. 

There are many symptoms that may lead you to schedule an appointment with an ENT physician, including:

  • Any ear, nose, or throat pain or injury
  • Balance issues
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Chronic headaches
  • Chronic sore throats
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Dizziness

  • Hearing loss
  • Hoarseness
  • Nasal fractures
  • Repeated nosebleeds
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Snoring
