Abstract
Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery is a diverse specialty that deals with many of the special senses. As the population ages, primary care providers and specialists will need to recognize how common pathologies affect their aging patients and how an aging population can present common pathologies with different symptoms. Patients can also present with symptoms that are the result of the normal aging process. Treating these concerns and symptoms is an important part of Geriatric Otolaryngology.
