Neurotology Meaning - Sports Center

Neurotology or neuro-otology is a subspecialty of otolaryngology—head and neck surgery, also known as ENT (ear, nose, and throat) medicine. [1] Neuro-otology is closely related to otology, clinical neurology [2] and neurosurgery. Neurotology focuses on the structures of the inner ear and their connections with the central nervous system.

A neurotologist works on preventing, diagnosing, and treating disorders related to dizziness, imbalance, vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss. As the official journal of the American Otological Society (AOS) and the American Neurotology Society (ANS), O&N is the peer-review journal of choice for clinical and basic science research in otology, neurotology, and cranial base surgery. For more complex conditions of the ear, the temporal bone and skull base (including disorders of the facial nerve), our subspecialty trained physicians in neurotology provide the most current diagnostic methods and treatment options.
