This page helps you find and choose an ear, nose and throat provider. For condition information, see the Ear, nose and throat health topic.

What the field covers

ENT care covers hearing and balance, the nose and sinuses, the throat and voice, and conditions of the head and neck. It includes assessment, hearing tests and, where advised, surgery.

Who provides it

An otolaryngologist, often called an ENT surgeon, is a doctor with specialist training in ear, nose and throat conditions. An audiologist is a hearing professional who tests hearing and balance and fits hearing aids; they are not medical doctors. General practitioners assess many common problems first. HealthNaro lists Otolaryngology and Audiology.

Main services

Listed services are ENT consultations and hearing tests. A profile shows a service only when the provider has told us it is offered.

How to choose a provider

  • Confirm registration with the national medical regulator for doctors, and the relevant professional body for audiologists.
  • Read the verification label: Public listing, Contact verified, Reviewed by HealthNaro or Credentials verified. Labels describe what we checked and are not quality ratings.
  • Ask whether hearing tests are carried out at the same site as the ENT consultation.
  • Ask which equipment is available for examining the ears, nose and throat, and how results are explained.
  • If surgery is discussed, ask where it takes place and what follow-up is included.

What to prepare

Note when symptoms began, whether one side is affected more than the other and what makes them better or worse. Bring earlier hearing tests, scan reports and a list of medicines. If you use hearing aids, bring them. Children may benefit from someone familiar attending with them. Do not send medical records through HealthNaro forms.

Cost, insurance and access

Fees depend on the examinations and tests carried out, so ask what the first visit includes. Hearing aids, where advised, are a separate cost from testing, and aftercare may be separate again. Check whether your insurer covers specialist visits and hearing tests. HealthNaro shows prices only where a source and date exist.

Keep a note of your questions and write down the answers during the visit, or ask the clinician to summarise the plan in writing, so you can review it later and share it with your general doctor.

Frequently asked questions

What does an ENT doctor treat?
ENT stands for ear, nose and throat. An otolaryngologist is a doctor who diagnoses and treats conditions in these areas, and of the head and neck.
Should I see an ENT doctor or an audiologist for hearing concerns?
An audiologist tests hearing and helps with hearing aids. An ENT doctor assesses medical causes and can arrange surgery or other treatment. Many people see both.
Do I need a referral?
Sometimes. Ask the clinic when you book.
Can children see an ENT doctor?
Many ENT clinics see children. Check the profile or ask the clinic.
Is the request service free?
Yes. HealthNaro does not charge patients.
