"LEND ME YOUR EARS!" - HEARING AND VESTIBULAR DISORDERS: EARLY SCREENING AND MANAGEMENT


Respected Doctor,

Audiology, and especially Vestibular disorders, in children and adults are rarely looked for and almost always missed. Even if suspected, there is little clarity on clinical approach, investigations, exact diagnosis and precise management. It is never easy to counsel parents on the prognosis and outcome.

WORKSHOP on
