ENT specialists of the nose deal with patients suffering from chronic sinusitis.

Medical specialists treating problems in the head and neck regions deal with tumors, infectious diseases, deformities, and facial trauma.

An ENT specialist starts practicing after up to 15 years of college and postgraduate training. They must first complete college, medical school (usually four years), and at least five years of specialty training. Next, the physician must pass the American Board of Otolaryngology examination to be certified. Some ENT specialists pursue a one- or two-year for more extensive training in one of the seven subspecialty areas. These include pediatric otolaryngology (children), otology/neurotology (ears and balance.), allergy, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, head and neck surgery, laryngology (throat) and rhinology (nose). Some ENT specialists limit their practices to one of these seven areas.
