If there is one ‘power’ in us human beings which is not appreciated nearly enough as much as others, it is the sense of hearing. While it is a part of the widely learned sense organs, it does not get the credit it deserves which is why the infections related to this organ were ignored in the years gone by.Gradually, as the importance of ear to the human body was realized, new field in medical sciences came forward to specifically focus on the treatment of infections plaguing these organs.
First came the ENT specialist which focused on treating problems related to ears nose as well as throat. The specialization in these fields further increased with increased research put into this field and as a result a separate branch was introduced to cater solely to problems in ear. This separate branch was called audiology and came to light as recent as 1946 which is very new when compared to some of the other branches. Audiology dealt with hearing, balance and related disorders. Medical practitioners in this field are mainly faced with problems of hearing loss and they act proactively to prevent collateral damage.
Science has played a major role in the development of this branch as most of the diagnosis techniques are heavily reliant on science. After diagnosis, treatment plans include giving the patient a hearing aid or recommending cochlear implants depending upon the extent of hearing loss. This branch has made sure that the underrated pleasure of being able to hear is taken benefit of by everybody and it has been successful in doing the same. By - Vatsal
