The Hearing and Balance Program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center encompasses the divisions of Otology, Neurotology and Cranial Base Surgery; Audiology; and Dizziness and Balance Disorders. Together we specialize in the medical and surgical management of a broad range of diseases and disorders of the ear and skull base, working hand-in-hand to provide the best hearing and balance care available in central Ohio.
With fellowship-trained neurotologists, more than 10 full-time audiologists, the most comprehensive vestibular (balance) testing facility in the area and a broad knowledge of auditory devices with a special focus on cochlear implants, we are a complete source for ear care.
