Inner Ear Injury treatment in Magdalena Contreras

An inner ear injury affects the structures responsible for hearing and balance, located in the deepest part of the ear. Depending on its origin and extent, it can affect the ability to hear, the sense of stability, or both at once.

Frequent symptoms: reduced hearing, ringing or whistling, dizziness, a sensation that everything is spinning, and, at times, loss of balance or nausea.

Common causes: exposure to very intense noise, blows to the head, infections, certain medications, or abrupt pressure changes.

Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the professional who evaluates the inner ear through hearing and balance studies. If a sudden hearing loss or persistent dizziness occurs, seeking an evaluation as soon as possible helps to protect these very important functions.
