The distribution of the visits for these diagnoses across 15 specialties was assessed.

These consisted of 230,000 visits for benign positional paroxysmal vertigo, 263,000 visits for vestibular neuritis, 292,000 visits for Meniere's disease, 1.09 million visits for tinnitus, and 2.85 million visits for sensorineural hearing loss. Otolaryngology, internal medicine, family practice, and neurology managed the most visits, seeing 57.0%, 21.0%, 14.3%, and 2.2% of the cases, respectively. With expected changes in population demographics by 2020, annual clinic visits for an otologic diagnosis will increase from 1.49 \u00b1 0.78 million to 2.14 million visits in the elderly, annualized, including 1.218 million visits to otolaryngology.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>These data quantify the current outpatient otology workload and predict a substantial increase for many specialties, including otolaryngology.
