It embraces the the early diagnostics of childhood hearing disability just as the conservative and surgical rehabilitation of hearing e.g. cochlear implantation. Another important part of this field of medicine is the phoniatry that includes physiology and pathophysiology of phonation, diagnostics and therapy of hoarsness, rehabilitation of patients after treatment of laryngeal cancer.
