What to know about Black Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) care
Chronic ear infections and hearing loss in Black children are underdiagnosed relative to white children, according to a Pediatrics study (2017) documenting disparities in specialty referral. Black adults have higher rates of obstructive sleep apnea that often goes untreated. ENT specialists (otolaryngologists) treat ear, nose, throat, sinus, and voice conditions and perform surgery for head and neck cancers, where Black patients face higher mortality at each stage.
