mechanisms that allow a person to make sound, hear, maintain balance, smell, breathe,
and swallow. Traditionally, treatment of the ear &#x02014; otology &#x02014; was associated with that
of the eye in medical practice. With the development of laryngology &#x02014; the study of
the throat &#x02014; in the late 19th century, the connection between the ear and throat became

loss and sinus problems. Otolaryngology actually encompasses the treatment of many diverse conditions, including: dizziness,
facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, head and neck cancer, hearing loss,
problems of the larynx and sinus, difficulties swallowing, tumors of the auditory
nerve, and voice production.</p><p>When diagnosing ear, nose, and throat disorders, it is important to differentiate
genetic disorders from those due to environmental influences. This is often difficult
as similar clinical features may be produced by different environmental factors or
by different genes or groups of genes.</p></div><div id="A32.diseases"><h2 id="_A32_diseases_">Diseases</h2><ul class="simple-list"><li class="half_rhythm"><div>
