Abstract
This paper reports on current medical practices performed by health care professionals, audiologists and Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) physicians, for treatment of vestibular dysfunction. The study surveyed each professional on the different treatment options for peripheral inner ear dysfunction in which s/he performs or recommends for vestibular patients. Since surgery is rarely a treatment option and vestibular suppressant medications may delay the compensation process and have negative side effects, there is a growing awareness of the effectiveness of vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT). The results analyzed the difference in the number of audiologists versus ENT physicians performing vestibular rehabilitation therapy. Results also indicated electronystagmography as the most common vestibular assessment performed by audiologists. This paper also presents limitations of the study and implications of future research.
