http://www.medicinaeinformazione.com/ / medicinaeinformazione Dizziness and balance disorders are extremely common, very annoying, and are the 3rd cause of visits to the emergency room. It is a disorder with a complex mechanism, sometimes associated with other symptoms such as instability, nausea or even hearing loss. There are many forms of vestibular disorders, acute, chronic, rotary, postural vertigo, which is the most common and affects about 10% of the world's population, and it is important to carefully evaluate the symptoms by the otolaryngologist who is the specialist of reference in the vestibular field in order to arrive at a differential diagnosis to be able to start the patient on a personalized treatment that can range from vestibular rehabilitation to intratympanic injections in the case of Meniere's disease. Sometimes vertigo is associated with a sudden loss of hearing and the appearance of tinnitus, and in this case it is possible that it is Meniere's disease. The complexity of the disorder means that patients often undergo a series of instrumental tests, not always useful for diagnosis, and it is therefore important to follow a dedicated diagnostic process with specific tests. The ear, especially the inner ear, is a difficult organ to visualize, but technology offers today, and will do so even more in the future, new cutting-edge solutions for its study, such as 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging. The choice of treatment is clearly linked to the type of disorder and, especially in the case of vestibular rehabilitation, sees a strong involvement of the patient himself. When episodes of vertigo are repeated over time, as in the case of Meniere's disease but also other forms, thus becoming a chronic pathology, it is also important to pay attention to lifestyle, such as nutrition for example, learning to know what can be protective factors or, on the contrary, triggers, factors that trigger a crisis. The causes of vertigo are often attributed to osteoarticular or vascular disorders, with the consequence that it is difficult for patients to promptly identify the reference doctor, who is the otorhinolaryngologist expert in clinical and instrumental vestibology and carry out numerous consultations with different specialists before arriving at a correct diagnosis. Our state of health is closely linked to our lifestyles, we know, but is there a prevention of ear problems, are there precautions that can be implemented from a young age to preserve the well-being of the sense organ that allows us to communicate with others every day? Vertigo, tinnitus, and above all a decrease in hearing ability are all problems that over time can lead to a decline in the quality of life, and the Amplifon Research and Study Center has developed, thanks to advanced technologies, a range of latest-generation acoustic solutions for hearing loss, customized hearing aids based on the needs of the individual, with the possibility of using Bluetooth connections and a dedicated App that is able to suggest the right way to use them in different environmental conditions. We talked about all this with: Augusto Pietro Casani - Associate Professor of the Otolaryngology Clinic of the University of Pisa Alberto Golinelli - Director of the Amplifon Research and Study Center
