Patients with the ear diseases of hearing loss or imbalance currently have effective interventions available to them throughout their lifetime. Revolutionary advances have been made in the field of hearing and balance technology in recent decades, such as implants, diagnostics and telemedicine, with innovations that allow for the diagnosis of ear diseases (cochlear and vestibular disorders) and hearing loss at any age. Medical and surgical treatment, hearing aids, cochlear and vestibular im-plants, therapy (intratympanic delivery of treatments) or rehabilitation, sign language and subtitling are solutions that allow people to with ear diseases or hearing loss, meaning they are able to access education and communication, thus having the opportunity to develop their potential.

This Special Issue also includes studies focused on the relationship between chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases with audiovestibular manifestations.
