otolaryngologist
Ear-nose-throat doctor
An otolaryngologist is a physician specializing in disorders of the ear, nose, and throat—often called an ENT doctor.
The specialty covers hearing loss, sinus problems, voice disorders, and head and neck cancers.
My doctor referred me to an otolaryngologist for recurring ear infections.
