 Welcome to the otology/neuro-otology services
in the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at
the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC). Our
aim is to provide the best care possible for our patients in
treating and managing diseases of the ear and skull base. Our
highly-trained surgeons perform a variety of procedures to treat
deafness and other related ear conditions, balance disorders
resulting from peripheral vestibular pathology, skull base,
and facial nerve disorders.
We treat patients suffering from:
-
Hearing Loss and Tinnitus
- stapedectomy for otosclerosis
- tympanoplasty and ossiculoplasty
- cochlear implants
- self-implantable hearing devices
- sudden hearing loss
- other types of hearing loss
-
Chronic Ear Disease
- otitis media and ear tubes (for children and adults)
- cholesteatomas, chronic ear infections, and mastoidectomy (tympanomastoidectomy)
-
Vertigo, Diagnosis and Treatment
- Benign Paroxymal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
- Meniere's Disease: we offer medical and surgical therapy, including intratympanic injection therapy for outpatients.
- Vestibular Rehabilitation (VR)
-
Skull-base Tumors
- acoustic neuromas
- Glomus tumors
 The Cochlear Implantation Program at AUBMC is dedicated to
providing the surgical option of cochlear implantation and
follow-up rehabilitation to patients with severe-to-profound
hearing loss who can gain little or no benefit from traditional
hearing aids. Our program is distinguished by its
comprehensive, pre-and post-operative phases where a fully-committed team of clinical specialists work together to assure
that users benefit most from their new implant. The
rehabilitation strategy at AUBMC consists of the following:
- educational advice and support
- speech and language therapy
- regular medical check ups
- implant mapping and adjustment
- patient and family counselling
Because we realize that one of the most important factors for
successful treatment is the relationship between the patient and
the surgeon, an initial consultation will provide us with the
opportunity to discuss your health problems and to answer any
questions or concerns you may have.
If you would like to learn more about how we can help or discuss
treatment options, kindly contact us to schedule a private
consultation where we will be pleased to answer any questions
you may have.
