Abstract
For vestibulocochlear diseases, traditional clinical history-taking, and the terminology of widely taught nosologic taxonomy, have misleading implications that can lead to errors in diagnosis and therefore in treatment. In the interest of facilitating differential diagnosis while simultaneously recognizing that many of these diseases may not be as discrete as textbooks suggest, we propose a data visualization approach focusing on several continuous scalar dimensions in the domains of anatomy, physiology, and chronology. We illustrate the application of this approach to several categories of clinical presentation.
期刊介绍：
From the basic science of hearing and balance disorders to auditory electrophysiology to amplification and the psychological factors of hearing loss, Ear and Hearing covers all aspects of auditory and vestibular disorders. This multidisciplinary journal consolidates the various factors that contribute to identification, remediation, and audiologic and vestibular rehabilitation. It is the one journal that serves the diverse interest of all members of this professional community -- otologists, audiologists, educators, and to those involved in the design, manufacture, and distribution of amplification systems. The original articles published in the journal focus on assessment, diagnosis, and management of auditory and vestibular disorders.
