🔍 What is Neurotology?

Neurotology, a subspecialty of otolaryngology (ENT), focuses on diagnosing and treating disorders of the inner ear and skull base — especially those that affect hearing and balance. Neurotologists are highly trained physicians who handle complex ear disorders that are often connected with the nervous system.

This field bridges ENT and neurology and addresses more than just common ear infections — it handles deeper issues involving the auditory and vestibular systems, nerves in the ear, and sometimes, the brain.

🧠 Conditions Treated by a Neurotologist at Nelson Hospital

Our experienced neurotologists provide expert care for a range of conditions, including:

• Vertigo and Dizziness

Sudden spells of dizziness or spinning sensations can be signs of vestibular dysfunction. Neurotologists determine whether the cause is neurological or inner ear-related.

• Tinnitus (Ringing in the Ears)

A persistent ringing, buzzing, or hissing sound in the ears that may be caused by nerve damage or inner ear problems.

• Sudden or Gradual Hearing Loss

Whether the loss is due to nerve damage, trauma, or disease, early diagnosis and intervention can restore or preserve hearing.

• Acoustic Neuroma (Vestibular Schwannoma)

A non-cancerous tumor that develops on the hearing and balance nerves, leading to hearing loss and imbalance. Surgical and non-surgical options are available.

• Cholesteatoma

An abnormal skin growth in the middle ear that can erode bones and affect hearing and balance.

• Meniere’s Disease

Characterized by episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. Treatment options include dietary changes, medication, and in some cases, surgery.

• Facial Nerve Disorders

Including facial paralysis or spasms due to nerve compression or inflammation.

• Otosclerosis

Abnormal bone growth in the middle ear leading to hearing impairment.
