Diagnosis and Management in Otology and Neurotology

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the launch of our special issue dedicated to “Diagnosis and Management in Otology and Neurotology.” This special issue aims to bring together leading experts and researchers in the field to share their insights, experiences, and latest findings in the diagnosis and management of ear and neuro-otological conditions.

In the realm of otology, we focus on common ear diseases such as otitis media, hearing loss, tinnitus, and explore their pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment options. Additionally, we will focus on the prevention and rehabilitation of ear diseases, offering comprehensive health guidance to patients.

As for neurotology, we focus on neurological disorders related to hearing and balance, including Ménière’s disease, vestibular neuronitis, and more. We will delve into the diagnostic methods, treatment strategies, and latest research advancements in these conditions, assisting doctors in making more accurate assessments and devising personalized treatment plans for patients.

Furthermore, this special edition will also highlight the interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in otology and neuro-otology. We hope to invite industry experts to discuss cross-research between otology, neuroscience, imaging technology, genetics, and other fields, aiming to drive continuous progress in the field.

Your contributions can cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

Advances in diagnostic techniques and technologies for ear and neuro-otological conditions.

Innovative treatment strategies and their clinical outcomes for various ear diseases and neuro-otological disorders.

Interdisciplinary collaborations and their impact on improving diagnosis and management of ear and neuro-otological conditions.

Case studies and clinical experiences that highlight successful diagnosis and management approaches.

Challenges and future directions in otology and neuro-otology research and practice.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Kathrine Jáuregui-Renaud
Guest Editor
