Neuro Otology
Neuro Otology is a highly specialized branch of otolaryngology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving the inner ear, auditory nerve, and the neural pathways that control hearing and balance. This field bridges the disciplines of ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat), neurology, and audiology, offering targeted evaluation and management of complex auditory and vestibular disorders.
Our Neuro Otology division combines advanced diagnostic tools with multidisciplinary expertise to offer patients comprehensive care for disorders affecting both hearing and equilibrium.
Conditions Managed Under Neuro Otology
Our neuro-otology experts diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including:
Vestibular Neuritis
Inflammation of the vestibular nerve leading to sudden vertigo, nausea, and imbalance.
Labyrinthitis
Infection or inflammation of the inner ear affecting both balance and hearing.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
A common cause of brief, spinning sensations triggered by head movements.
Ménière’s Disease
A chronic condition characterized by fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, and a feeling of fullness in the ear.
Acoustic Neuroma (Vestibular Schwannoma)
A benign tumour on the vestibulocochlear nerve causing progressive hearing loss, imbalance, and facial nerve involvement.
Perilymph Fistula
An abnormal connection between the inner ear and middle ear that causes hearing changes and dizziness.
Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome
A rare condition involving a thinning or absence of bone over the superior semicircular canal, leading to vertigo and hearing abnormalities.
Central Vestibular Disorders
Neurological conditions affecting brain pathways that control balance and eye movements.
Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL)
Rapid loss of hearing due to damage to the inner ear or nerve pathways, considered a medical emergency.
Tinnitus with Neurological Causes
Persistent ringing in the ears caused by nerve irritation or central auditory dysfunction.
