What is the difference between an Otoloaryngologist, Neurotologist, and Otologist?

Otolaryngologists (also called ear-nose-and-throat, or ENT doctors) are physicians who have advanced training in disorders of the ear, nose and throat. Otologists or neurotologists are physicians who in addition to their ENT requirements, continued their specialized training for an additional year or more in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the ear.

Otolaryngologists, neurotologists and otologists are the physicians who typically treat disorders of the ear requiring medical or surgical solutions.
