What is Neurotology and Otology? This is a subspecialty of otolaryngology (ENT: Ears, Nose and Throat) devoted to the diseases of the ear, especially disorders of hearing and balance. This may cover the areas known as the external ear, the middle ear, the inner ear, the hearing and balance nerves, the facial nerve, and the skull base. Appropriate fellowship certification requires one to two years of additional training in a recognized mainstream program following completion of general otolaryngology residency.Many neurotologists may limit practice to this subspecialty. |
|
| Many general ENT/otolaryngologists practice some aspects of otology, but may not have this additional neurotology expertise. Otology most often includes external and middle ear disease. | |
