Otorhinolaryngology
Otorhinolaryngology is a medical specialty that deals with assessing, diagnosing, and managing diseases and health issues affecting the mouth, sinuses, larynx, head, and neck. Otorhinolaryngologists employ diagnostic techniques like physical examinations, imaging tests, and endoscopy. They offer both surgical and nonsurgical treatments, such as medications, hearing aids, and voice therapy. Ongoing research in this field aims to enhance diagnosis and treatment by developing advanced technologies for head and neck evaluation and seeking more effective approaches to prevent and manage chronic conditions like hearing loss and sinusitis. Additionally, researchers work to gain a better understanding of the root causes of these conditions to develop tailored treatments.
