The Difference Between an ENT & an Audiologist. Hearing loss affects 10 percent of North Americans, according to the American Academy of Otolaryngology. One part of the job of an otolaryngologist, also called an ear-nose-throat (ENT) doctor, is to treat hearing loss and other ear disorders. On the other hand, the job of an audiologist is limited to working with people who have hearing, balance and related ear problems.
What is an Ear, Nose & Throat Doctor? An ENT is a medical doctor who can diagnose and treat disorders of the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck.

There are many specialties that an ENT may pursue, including facial reconstruction, plastic surgery, and rhinology (study of the nose and sinuses).
