About Us

Developed by the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF), ENThealth.org offers a roadmap for consumers seeking health-related information about the ear, nose, throat, and head and neck. The site seeks to offer:

A community dedicated to helping patients. The content is developed from a team of ENT experts, and information is delivered via peer-reviewed articles, interactive features, and video content featuring physicians.

Reliable information helping consumers understand ENT conditions and diseases. The site seeks to inform and help you understand what exactly an ENT does and when you should see one.

Communicating interconnectivity can lead to better understanding. Many ENT conditions can start as a symptom in one area of the body, but may, in fact, be related to another area. Connecting these anatomical dots will help you have better-informed discussions with your doctors.

Our Contributors

All articles, videos, and content are developed in concert with ENT physician experts, including teams of clinician experts, referred to as Consumer Health Development Groups (CHDGs). An ENThealth.org Executive Committee, composed of clinical experts, provides guidance and oversight.

A special thank you to those who serve on the ENThealth.org Executive Committee and the individual CHDGs. The work and commitment of these individuals to the vision of ENThealth.org has been essential to the project.
