What Is Otology?

Otology is the treatment of disorders of the ear. UR Medicine Otologists specialize in non-surgical and surgical treatment of diseases of the ears, hearing, and vestibular system. Our specialists perform hundreds of procedures and surgeries annually, so patient care is always in the hands of well-practiced experts.

What Sets Us Apart?

As one of the only centers providing cochlear implants and bone-anchored hearing systems in our region, UR Medicine otolaryngologists partner with UR Medicine Audiology and other audiologists across the Finger Lakes region, Buffalo, and Syracuse, to make care convenient and accessible for patients traveling from near and far.

As part of the University of Rochester Medical Center, our physicians are exposed to more complex conditions and unusual complications than most physicians in the area. Many physicians are also involved in research to find new treatments for ENT-related diseases. Our doctors are board-certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology.

Hearing Systems

We are one of the only centers in the Upstate New York region to offer bone-anchored hearing systems, including:

  • Cochlear Osia
  • Baha
  • Ponto
  • Adhear

These systems can be used for conductive hearing loss and single-sided deafness.
