Otology & Neurotology

Otology and neurotology are specialized areas of ENT focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the ear, balance system, and related structures of the head and skull. At CGN El Paso Ear, Nose & Throat, our specialists provide expert care for patients of all ages, addressing conditions that range from common hearing problems to complex inner ear and skull base disorders.


What Is Otology?

Otology focuses on the ear and hearing system. Common conditions treated include:


  • Hearing Loss: Age-related, noise-induced, or sensorineural hearing loss


  • Ear Infections: Chronic or recurrent infections in children and adults


  • Tinnitus: Ringing or buzzing in the ears


  • Vertigo & Balance Disorders: Dizziness, Meniere’s disease, and vestibular dysfunction


  • Ear Trauma or Structural Issues: Perforated eardrums, fluid in the middle ear, or congenital ear anomalies


What Is Neurotology?

Neurotology is a subspecialty of otology that deals with more complex disorders of the inner ear, auditory nerve, and skull base. Conditions commonly treated include:


  • Chronic Ear Disease: Advanced infections or cholesteatoma


  • Acoustic Neuroma: Tumors of the auditory nerve

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if I need to see an otology or neurotology specialist?

    You should seek evaluation if you have persistent hearing loss, chronic ear infections, ringing in the ears, dizziness, balance problems, or facial nerve issues.

  • Can hearing or balance problems be improved?

    Many conditions can be effectively managed with hearing aids, medications, physical therapy for balance, or surgical intervention, depending on the underlying cause.

  • Will I need surgery?

    Not always. Many ear and balance conditions can be managed medically. Surgery is considered when medical treatments are insufficient or when structural correction is necessary.
