Hearing evaluation is not merely an ancillary procedure; it is an integral part of the diagnostic process.
This is because vestibular and auditory disorders frequently occur together, including:
🔸 Ménière’s disease
🔸 Vestibular neuritis
🔸 Ototoxic medication–induced damage
🔸 Disorders of the eighth cranial nerve
Each of these conditions can affect both hearing and balance simultaneously.
For this reason, specialists consistently emphasize:
“If you experience dizziness, your hearing should also be evaluated.”
