Pediatric ear, nose and throat (ENT) physicians (otolaryngologists), audiologists and speech-language pathologists work as a team to provide care for a broad range of conditions affecting the head and neck. Otolaryngologists (pronounced “ah-toe-lair-in-goll-oh-gists”) specifically provide surgical and nonsurgical treatment. Audiologists specialize in caring for hearing and balance disorders.

The team at Norton Children’s ENT & Audiology, affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine, provides surgical and nonsurgical care for conditions including allergies, frequent ear infections, hearing loss, sinusitis, smell disorders, speech disorders, swallowing disorders and conditions affecting the voice.
