Sensory experiences: hearing, smell, taste and balance

Our senses – hearing, smell, taste and balance – allow us to perceive the world around us and play a central role in our daily lives. Yet we often pay them little attention until their function is impaired or lost altogether.

ENT physicians: specialists for the senses

Ear, nose and throat physicians (ENT physicians) are not only specialists for the throat, nose and ears as organs, but also for the senses associated with them. In their practice, they therefore treat not only conditions such as colds, sudden hearing loss or tinnitus, but also problems with smell, taste and balance.
