Audiology practices, v 11(1), pp 10-14

Abstract
On the 22nd of October 2018, the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA) conducted what may have been an unprecedented event in audiology; ADA allocated the first day of their annual meeting to explore the co-management of chronic illnesses that are comorbid with hearing and balance disorders in audiology patients. Why was this done and why is this important to audiology? The answer to the question ‘why this was done’ is there is an emerging and growing body of evidence documenting the linkage between audio-vestibular disorders, especially sensorineural hearing loss, and many chronic illnesses. In short, some ear diseases and some whole body diseases are now known to be linked through a common pathophysiology. [1st paragraph]
