Professional Societies
Association for Research in
Otolaryngology (ARO)
The Association for Research in Otolaryngology is an international
association of scientists and physicians dedicated to scientific
exploration among all of the disciplines in the field of otolaryngology.
Research efforts involve the ear, nose, head, neck and related functions
including hearing, balance, speech, taste and smell among others. A wide
range of scientific approaches is represented including biochemical,
physiological, behavioral, developmental and evolutionary.
Bárány
Society
The Bárány Society was founded in 1960; it is named for
Robert Bárány, who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1914
for his work on the physiology and pathology of the vestibular system. The
Bárány Society aim is to increase contact among scientists
engaged in vestibular research and to stimulate otoneurological research.
The Society for the
Neural Control of Movement
The Neural Control of Movement Society is an international association of
scientists pursuing research whose goal is to understand how the brain
controls movement
Clinical Resources
National Institute on
Deafness and other Communicative Disorders (NIDCD)
The NIDCD is the Institute within the National Institutes of Health that
conducts and supports biomedical research and research training on normal
mechanisms as well as diseases and disorders of balance.
VEDA, Vestibular
Disorders Association
VEDA is a nonprofit organization that provides information to the public
and health professionals about inner-ear balance disorders such as Ménière’s
disease, BPPV, and labyrinthitis.
American
Otological Society and American
Neurotology Society
These two related societies support clinical activity and research on
normal and pathological processes in the ear, including problems of
vestibular origin.
Educational Material
