Abstract
Internet-Based Interventions for Hearing and Balance Disorders
Hearing and balance disorders are common chronic health conditions in the adult population. Particularly, an ailment of the inner ear can cause vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. These consequences of inner ear disorders cause great problems to the person affected and their family members resulting in significant societal burden. However, there is no permanent cure for most such disorders although various management and rehabilitation options exist.
