Dizziness clinic celebrates 5th anniversary

Hartford- Dr. Marc Eisen, Director of Hearing & Balance Center at Hartford Hospital and one of Connecticut’s most prominent neurotologist, will give a presentation on the effects of dizziness and vertigo, and how this condition may affect a person’s quality of life and safety with mobility. Dr. Marc Eisen is a regular speaker and media commentator on the subject of hearing loss, treatment of dizziness and balance disorders. 

This informational session is opened to the public and offered to individuals of all ages experiencing dizziness, vertigo or general difficulties with balance. Balance and vestibular screenings will be offered before seminar.
 

Dizziness is an uncomfortable feeling of motion when there is no actual movement. The feeling of motion is commonly described as spinning or whirling, but it also may include sensations of falling or tilting.

“Feeling unsteady or dizzy can be caused by many factors such as poor circulation, inner ear disease, medication usage, injury, infection, allergies, and/or neurological disease,” said Dr. Eisen. “Dizziness is treatable, but it is important for your doctor to help you determine the cause so that the correct treatment is implemented.”


Dr. Marc Eisen, who is board-certified in neurotology and fellowship trained at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in neurotology, leads the Hearing & Balance Center at Hartford Hospital, working alongside a team of highly trained audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and vestibular therapists to provide care to patients suffering from hearing impairment and balance disorders. The Hearing and Balance Center has access to all of the resources of Hartford Hospital, Connecticut Ear, Nose, & Throat Associates, and Hartford Hospital Rehabilitation Network. 

“The goal of the presentation is to enlighten the audience and introduce our team of specialists and locations where patients can go and get proper diagnosis,” added Dr. Eisen.

The presentation on dizziness and vertigo will take place on Thursday, March 13 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The dizziness clinic is located at 65 Memorial Rd, Suite 425 in West Hartford (Blue Back Square).
