Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) conditions can affect daily life in ways that are easy to overlook—until they become a problem. From chronic sinus infections and allergies to hearing loss and voice disorders, ENT issues can make simple tasks like breathing, speaking, or sleeping difficult. At Art of Medicine Direct, we provide thorough evaluations and personalized care for a range of ENT concerns, helping you find relief and improve your overall well-being.

Conditions We Treat

ENT specialists diagnose and manage conditions related to the ears, nose, throat, and related structures in the head and neck. Some of the most common issues include:

Ear-Related Conditions

Hearing loss

Whether gradual or sudden, hearing difficulties can impact communication and daily activities.

Ear infections

Frequent infections, especially in children, may require specialized treatment.

Tinnitus

Persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears can be disruptive and frustrating.

Balance disorders

Dizziness and vertigo may stem from inner ear issues that need medical evaluation.

Nose and Sinus Concerns

Chronic sinusitis

If congestion, facial pressure, or nasal drainage persists for weeks, treatment can help.

Allergic rhinitis

Seasonal or environmental allergies can lead to persistent nasal symptoms.

Nasal obstruction

Difficulty breathing through the nose may be due to a deviated septum or nasal polyps.

Throat and Voice Disorders

Sore throats and tonsillitis

Frequent throat infections may require further assessment.

Hoarseness and voice changes

Vocal strain, nodules, or other conditions can affect speech quality.

Swallowing difficulties

Trouble eating or drinking may indicate an underlying throat issue.

When to See an ENT Specialist

It can be difficult to know when an ENT evaluation is necessary. While some symptoms improve on their own, others require medical attention. You may benefit from an ENT visit if you experience:

  • Persistent ear pain, hearing loss, or ringing in the ears
  • Recurring sinus infections, congestion, or postnasal drip
  • Frequent sore throats, voice hoarseness, or difficulty swallowing
  • Trouble with balance or unexplained dizziness

Seeking timely care can prevent minor issues from becoming more serious. If symptoms interfere with daily life or persist despite treatment, a thorough examination can help identify the underlying cause.

FAQs

What does an ENT doctor treat?

ENT doctors specialize in conditions related to the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck. This includes ear infections, sinus problems, allergies, throat disorders, and balance issues.

When should I see an ENT specialist instead of my primary care doctor?

If symptoms persist despite initial treatment, recur frequently, or significantly affect your quality of life, an ENT specialist can provide a more in-depth evaluation.

Do I need a referral to see an ENT doctor?

No, you can schedule an ENT evaluation without a referral. Our direct primary care model allows you to access specialized care without the usual insurance hurdles.

How are sinus infections treated?

Treatment depends on the cause. Acute infections may require antibiotics, while chronic sinusitis might need allergy management, nasal sprays, or further intervention.

Can an ENT doctor help with sleep apnea?

Yes, ENT specialists evaluate airway issues that contribute to snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, medical therapies, or procedures.

Are hearing tests available?

Yes, we can assess hearing concerns and determine if further testing or treatment is needed. If necessary, we coordinate with audiologists for comprehensive hearing evaluations.
