What is Otology & Neurotology?
Otology & Neurotology is a sub-specialty of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (also known as ‘Ear Nose and Throat’ or ‘ENT’) and is exclusively focused on treating hearing loss and pathologies in the ear and surrounding structures, including those at the brain and ear interface.
To become an otologist/neurotologist in the US, one must complete 5 years of surgical residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery after medical school, and then complete 2 years of additional fellowship training at an accredited institution focusing solely on ear and skull base surgery.
Otologists/Neurotologists work closely with audiologists, who are experts at performing and interpreting auditory and vestibular diagnostic tests. We also work with neurosurgeons when operating on skull base tumors such as acoustic neuromas/vestibular schwannomas.
