Otolaryngology is the oldest medical specialty in the United States. Otolaryngologists are physicians trained in the medical and surgical management and treatment of patients with diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, throat (ENT), and related structures of the head and neck. They are commonly referred to as ENT physicians.Otolaryngologists diagnose and manage diseases of the ears, nose, sinuses, larynx (voice box), mouth, and throat, as well as structures of the neck and face.Hearing loss affects one in ten North Americans. The unique domain of otolaryngologists is the treatment of ear disorders. They are trained in both the medical and surgical treatment of hearing loss, ear infections, balance disorders, ear noise (tinnitus), and some cranial nerve disorders.

Otolaryngologists begin their medical careers in the same way as other doctors, with a four-year premed degree and four years' study in a medical or osteopathic college. The clinical rotations in medical school provide an opportunity to evaluate several fields of medicine. Students who favor otolaryngology go on to serve a five-year residency after graduation, learning the profession under the mentorship and watchful eye of seasoned practitioners. Once the residency is complete, the newly qualified otolaryngologist can become certified by writing and passing examinations from the American Board of Otolaryngology.
