I've been struggling with total hearing loss in one ear and hearing aids don't seem to work for me. Can you tell me more about cochlear implant surgery - like how it works, if I'd be a good candidate, and what the recovery process looks like? I'm really curious but also a bit nervous about the whole procedure.

View allI've been having vertigo episodes and I'm confused about whether to see an ENT specialist or a neurologist or maybe both - can you help me understand which symptoms would require which doctor? Also is vertigo dangerous or something that can cause long-term harm? And is it usually treated with medications or are there specific exercises that help - would I ever need surgery for this condition?
Vertigo can be caused by inner ear issues (like BPPV or vestibular neuritis), in which case an **ENT** is ideal. If symptoms include double vision, weakness, or numbness, a **neurologist** should be consulted. Most vertigo is not dangerous or long-term and improves with **medications and vestibular exercises**; surgery is rarely needed and only in specific conditions like severe Meniere’s disease.

I'm feeling worried because I've been experiencing dizziness when I walk after sitting in a chair for about half an hour. This has been going on for the past year, and I've already consulted a neurologist and even tried some medications, but they haven't really helped much. Some doctors suggested it might be related to an ear problem. Can you please give me some advice on where to seek treatment for this kind of issue? It's starting to make me anxious about going to the office. I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.
