Neurotologist

A neurotologist is a medical specialist who focuses on diagnosing and treating disorders of the ear, especially those affecting balance, hearing, and related nerves. They have advanced training in both otology (ear health) and neurology (nerve functions). Conditions they treat include vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and facial nerve issues. They often perform complex surgeries, such as cochlear implants or procedures for inner ear balance problems. Essentially, neurotologists help manage medical issues involving the inner ear and nearby nerves that impact communication, balance, and overall auditory health.
