Allergy for the otologist. External canal to inner ear.
Allergy may affect the outer, the middle, or the inner ear. Although the otologic manifestations of allergy are not by themselves diagnostic, the history, including family history and associated symptoms in other target organs, will often help lead to the correct diagnosis and institution of therapy. Patients with significant and chronic symptoms, including those with labyrinthine symptoms of allergy, will respond well to specific immunotherapy and/or dietary elimination.
