Neurotology is a medical discipline devoted to the interface between otolaryngology and neurology, exploring the clinical evaluation and management of the sensorineural systems of hearing and equilibrium and its related research. It deals with all aspects of the auditory and vestibular sense organs and its central nervous system pathways, including auditory sensations and perception, the neurophysiology of balance, including special tests, auditory and vestibular electrical responses, congenital and acquired hearing problems related to both the ear and central nervous system, cochlear and vestibular implantation, and all aspects of the vestibular system. The advent of new surgical techniques related to the temporal bone and its vicinities led to the expansion of the specialty to include facial nerve disorders, intracranial complications of ear diseases, and pathological processes of the skull base.
