EAR (Neurotology)
EAR (Neurotology) is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the ear, including hearing and balance disorders, as well as related neurological issues. Neurotologists are experts in managing complex problems such as chronic ear infections, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), vertigo, Meniere’s disease, and facial nerve disorders.
Neurotology (EAR) is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating disorders of the ear and related neurological systems. It primarily deals with conditions affecting hearing and balance, such as vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and facial nerve disorders. Neurotology also addresses more complex conditions like acoustic neuromas, skull base tumors, and congenital ear abnormalities. By integrating principles of otology (ear medicine) and neurology, neurotologists collaborate with other specialists to provide advanced care. Treatment options may include medical management, hearing aids, cochlear implants, or minimally invasive and microsurgical techniques for more severe cases.
