The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Hearing and Balance Program encompasses the Divisions of Otology/Neurotology, Audiology and Balance Disorders. We work hand-in-hand to provide the best hearing and balance care available in central Ohio.
The Division of Otology, Neurotology and Cranial Base Surgery, in partnership with the Audiology and Balance Disorders programs, specialize in the medical and surgical management of a broad range of diseases and disorders of the ear and skull base. With three fellowship-trained neurotologists, nine 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 the most complete source for ear care in Ohio.
Our neurotologists often work closely with other Ohio State physicians in complex cases of the cranial base that require the resources of other specialties, such as oncology, neurology and neurosurgery.
