A doctor or specialist who treats diseases and problems of the ear.
From Latin auris 'ear' plus -ist, meaning 'one who specializes in.' This term was common in the 19th and early 20th centuries before otolaryngology became the standard medical term.
Aurists were the original ear specialists—they were so important that they had their own professional name before we started calling them otolaryngologists, which is basically Latin Greek showing off.
