Concussion can damage multiple parts of the head and brain, and thus can cause a variety of symptoms. Otoneurologists and neuro-otologists are usually tasked with assessing symptoms of hearing and balance. After physical examination, evaluation may include audiologic and vestibular tests, and sometimes imaging studies. Treatment and prognosis will depend on what specific deficits are discovered during the workup. Concussion can certainly cause deficits beyond hearing and balance, so it is important that a patient who has suffered concussion be evaluated at a center specializing in this area, because overall evaluation and management may require involvement of other specialties as well.

摘要

Concussion can damage multiple parts of the head and brain, and thus can cause a variety of symptoms. Otoneurologists and neuro-otologists are usually tasked with assessing symptoms of hearing and balance. After physical examination, evaluation may include audiologic and vestibular tests, and sometimes imaging studies. Treatment and prognosis will depend on what specific deficits are discovered during the workup. Concussion can certainly cause deficits beyond hearing and balance, so it is important that a patient who has suffered concussion be evaluated at a center specializing in this area, because overall evaluation and management may require involvement of other specialties as well.
