Cochleovestibular disorders (CVD) are of great medical and social importance due to their significant prevalence and the presence of a large number of negative manifestations on the part of the hearing and balance organs, as well as other body systems. All authors agree that cochleovestibular disorders affect the most active and able-bodied population, and this determines its social significance. Considering that the statistics of hearing and balance disorders are kept separately, it is not always possible to characterize the real statistical picture, the epidemiology of CVN. Approximately 17% of the total population complains of cochleovestibular disorders, but more than half of the cases do not seek medical help. Long-term temporary incapacity for work, a high rate of disability in patients with CVN, make the problem even more urgent to develop, require the improvement of early diagnosis methods. During mass examinations, cochleovestibular disorders were noted in 9-12% of the population of the Russian Federation. Approximately 10% of patients who visit an ENT doctor present complaints typical of KVN, and this figure for a general practitioner is 5%, and for a neurologist about 10-20%. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, over 460 million people in the world suffered from hearing loss and by 2050 this number could exceed 900 million). Dizziness is one of the three most common complaints presented by patients to a general practitioner, and among emergency consultations it occurs in 2.4-2.6% of patients.
