Ear Disorders

The diagnosis and treatment of these disorders requires the expertise of a variety of medical professionals. The University of Tennessee Health Science Center Hearing and Balance Center brings together Neurotologists, Pediatric Otolaryngologists, Audiologists, and Physical Therapists to give each patient the comprehensive care that they need. This team offers the latest technological advances in the diagnosis and treatment of these orders, including “incisionless” endoscopic ear surgery, cochlear implantation, and skull base surgery. Our hearing specialists will work to reconnect you to your loved ones, and our balance team will work with you to help you get back control over your life from vertigo.
Our providers are leaders in the field, working with other national and international experts in the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, American Neurotology Society, American Otological Society, American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology, North American Skull Base Society, and others.
