Complete ENT specialist examinations are performed to diagnose a wide range of disorders, from the most common and benign such as middle and external ear infections, acute and chronic sinusitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, and allergic rhinitis, to more complex pathologies such as vertigo and balance disorders (Vestibology), hearing loss of various types, nasal polyposis, vocal cord nodules and polyps, and benign and malignant tumors of the head and neck region. Clinical evaluation utilizes specific instrumental examinations such as otoscopy, rhinoscopy, and fiber optic laryngoscopy (for direct and magnified visualization of mucous membranes) and functional tests such as pure tone and speech audiometry and impedance testing for detailed study of auditory function. The scope of intervention also includes surgery (tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, septoplasty, functional sinus surgery) and laryngeal microsurgery, in addition to more complex oncological and maxillofacial surgical procedures.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Medical-surgical specialty for diseases of the ear, nose, and throat.
