How the Inner Ear Affect the Outer Life
The delicate mechanisms of the inner ear govern not only our hearing, but our sense of balance. DIzziness accounts for an estimated 5 to 6 percent of physician visits and affects about 40 percent of those over 40 at some time.

The good news is that there are treatments, from physical therapy to surgery -- that can provide relief from these debilitating disorders. (more)

This includes expert audiology, balance-testing, physical therapy (provided by Eastern Rehabilitation Network) and access to other medical specialties, such as neurology, if necessary. (more)
