COMMON HEARING DISORDERS
-
High frequency hearing loss is the most prevalent handicapping condition. It can occur with advancing age and is commonly associated with noise exposure
-
Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) affects over 5 million people. People older than 50 are twice as likely to experience tinnitus
-
Ear infections are the most common cause of temporary hearing loss in young children
BALANCE DISORDERS
Inner ear problems can cause a person to fall. Falls are the leading cause of injuries in people age 65 and older. Balance problems, or vertigo, prompt about 6 million U.S. residents to seek care each year. Nearly all balance disorders are caused by inner ear problems and the majority of patients benefit from treatment.
