Ear Institute at Mount Sinai

Hearing loss can make it hard to do your best at work, school, and home. Nearly 48 million Americans experience hearing loss. The Ear Institute at Mount Sinai can help. For more than 200 years, we have been diagnosing, treating, and researching hearing loss. Doctors routinely refer patients to us—from infants to older adults—for high quality care. Our doctors and surgeons work together to develop a personalized treatment plan. And then we give you the care you need, in a compassionate environment. Our outcomes for all hearing and balance disorders—particularly cholesteatoma and Meniere’s disease—surpass the national averages.

Conditions We Treat

At the Ear Institute at Mount Sinai, we treat the full range of ear disorders for both pediatric and adult patients, including:

  • Acoustic neuroma: A benign tumor that causes hearing loss, ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and dizziness; also called vestibular schwannoma
  • Atresia: When a child is born without some of the normal parts of the ear
  • Balance disorder: Inflammation of the inner ear that can cause you to lose your balance
  • Cerebrospinal fluid leak: When some of protective fluid that surrounds the brain and spine leaks
  • Cholesteatoma: An aggressive skin-lined cyst that begins at the margin of the eardrum and invades the middle ear and mastoid 
  • Glomus tumors: Slow-growing tumors, also called paragangliomas, which are often benign
  • Microtia: When a child is born with a small or malformed ear
  • Otosclerosis and stapedectomy: Hearing loss caused by an abnormal bone forming around the inner ear
  • Sensorineural deafness/presbycusis: Hearing loss caused by damage to the inner-ear hair cells or the nerves that carry electric signals to the brain
  • Single-sided deafness: Severe hearing loss in one ear
  • Sudden hearing loss: Decreased ability to hear that happens quickly—in 24 hours or less
  • Temporal bone cancer: Cancer that starts in the skin around the ear
  • Vertigo: a feeling that you’re spinning even when you’re not moving
