Otology

Otology is a branch of medicine focused on the study and treatment of the ear and related structures. It deals with various ear disorders, including hearing loss, infections, and balance issues. Otologists diagnose conditions through examinations and tests, and they may perform surgical procedures if necessary. They also address related issues like tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and earwax buildup. Overall, otology plays a vital role in maintaining ear health and improving the quality of life for those with ear-related problems.
