Neurotology

Neurotology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the ear and the nervous system, particularly conditions that affect balance and hearing. It combines elements of neurology and otology (ear medicine) to address issues such as hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), vertigo (dizziness), and labyrinthitis (inflammation of the inner ear). Neurotologists use various tools and techniques to evaluate how the ears and brain work together to process sound and maintain balance, providing comprehensive care for patients with complex auditory and vestibular problems.
