One Team For Your Ear And Hearing Health
Ear problems do not always begin and end with hearing. Recurring infections, ringing in the ears, dizziness, drainage, balance problems, pressure, structural damage, and changes in hearing can each require a different type of evaluation.
At Ear, Nose & Throat Specialty Care, our ear specialists and audiologists in the Twin Cities work together to help you reach the right provider, with five convenient locations.
Our audiologists can evaluate your hearing and discuss rehabilitation options, while our ear specialists diagnose and treat medical or structural conditions affecting the ear.
Our team also includes fellowship-trained neurotologists with advanced expertise in disorders of the ear, hearing, and balance. Working alongside audiologists and ENT specialists, they provide some of the most advanced ear care available in Minnesota.
Same-day and same-week appointments are available, so you can get the care you need without a long wait.
Specialized Care For Ear And Hearing Conditions
Your care begins with identifying what is affecting your hearing, comfort, or balance. From routine testing to advanced surgical care, our team provides options for adults and children with a wide range of ear-related needs.
With audiology and ear care under one roof, you can receive the right evaluation and treatment from one coordinated team.
Our audiologists help you select hearing aids based on your hearing needs and daily life. Follow-up adjustments ensure you get the most out of your devices. Plus, our team keeps you informed on the latest hearing technology as your needs evolve.
When hearing aids no longer provide enough benefit, our coordinated team supports eligible patients through every stage of cochlear implant care.
Eardrum Repair
Our ear specialists can repair an eardrum tear that contributes to hearing loss, drainage, infections, or discomfort.
Our specialists provide targeted ear surgery for chronic infections, structural problems, and certain forms of hearing loss. With expertise across nearly every ENT subspecialty, you can access highly specialized care within one practice.

Questions Patients Ask Before Their Appointment
Do I need a referral to see an audiologist?
That depends on your insurance plan and the service you need. Some plans allow you to schedule directly, while others require a referral for an audiology evaluation or hearing aid coverage. Check your benefits before scheduling, or call Ear, Nose, & Throat Specialty Care if you need help understanding which appointment to request.
Do you treat adults and children?
Yes. Ear, Nose & Throat Specialty Care provides ear and hearing care for patients of all ages, including hearing testing adapted for infants and children who cannot respond during a traditional hearing test. The practice also includes board-certified pediatric ENT specialists for children who need medical or surgical care.
Is sudden loss of hearing an emergency?
Yes. A rapid or unexplained loss of hearing should be treated as a medical emergency, even if it feels like congestion or a blocked ear. Prompt evaluation can help determine the type of hearing loss and may improve the effectiveness of treatment.
Call Ear, Nose & Throat Specialty Care immediately for guidance. If you cannot reach the office promptly, seek urgent medical care rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
Get Seen By An Ear Specialist As Soon As Possible
You should not have to spend months wondering why your hearing changed, why infections keep returning, or whether an ear condition needs specialized treatment. Ear, Nose & Throat Specialty Care gives you access to audiologists and ENT physicians who can evaluate the problem and guide you to the right next step.
