Everything from the neck up is the unofficial slogan of Otolaryngology — more commonly known as ENT (ear, nose and throat).
Common Procedures
Chronic sore throats are a regular occurrence in ENT; the staff often inserts tubes into the ears of children with multiple ear infections; and they treat chronic sinus infections. ENT is the place that schedules tonsillectomies and removes adenoids. Audiology is a part of this department.
Additional Information
Having their uvula (the fleshy bulb that hangs in the rear of the roof of your mouth) removed by an otolaryngologist can cure certain snorers.
