The Division of Otology and Neurotology consists of Otolaryngologists
with Fellowship training specifically for the management of Hearing
and Balance Disorders. These surgeons work closely with a dedicated
team of Audiologists and Speech Pathologists to provide a comprehensive
approach to management of all aspects of hearing and balance
problems. State-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and techniques
are available to aid in the evaluation and treatment of hearing
loss of all types, chronic ear infections and cholesteotoma,
and tumors of the inner ear and nerves. Rehabilitation of hearing
loss includes hearing aids (analog, digital, implantable, in
the ear and behind the ear) and cochlear implants for children
and adults. Evaluation and management of dizziness and vertigo
includes the most modern and comprehensive Vestibular Testing
laboratory in the region. This involves caloric testing, electronystagmography,
rotary chair and platform posturography testing. The team also
works to direct appropriate vestibular rehabilitation programs
when indicated. Contact 913-588-6701 for more information or
to make an appointment.
