Conditions Treated

Acquired Deafness
Loss of hearing that occurs or develops sometime in the course of a lifetime but is not present at birth.

Balance Disorder
Disruption in the labyrinth, the inner ear organ that controls the balance system, which allows individuals to know where their bodies are in the environment. The labyrinth works with other systems in the body, such as the visual and skeletal systems, to maintain posture.

Conductive Hearing Loss
Hearing loss caused by an abnormal transmission of sound in the outer or middle ear. Most common in children.

Congenital Hearing Loss
The presence of hearing loss at or before birth.

Hearing Disorder 
A general term used to describe any disruption in the normal auditory process

Meniere’s Disease
An inner ear disorder that can affect both hearing and balance. It is usually associated with vertigo (feeling like you're spinning when you’re really not), hearing loss, roaring tinnitus and the sensation of fullness in the ear. The Audiology team will help with the diagnoses while ENT physicians guide the treatment.

Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Hearing loss caused by damage to the sensory cells and/or nerve fibers of the inner ear. The most common type of hearing loss in adulthood.

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Tinnitus
Sensation of a ringing, roaring or buzzing sound in the ears or head. It is often associated with many forms of hearing loss and noise exposure.

Vertigo
Illusion of movement; a sensation as if the external world were revolving around an individual (objective vertigo) or as if the individual were revolving in space (subjective vertigo).
