Neuro-otology, a young branch of otology, is now prospering as advances in neurology and neurosurgery make it possible to diagnose and treat acoustic neurinomas and other neurological disorders. The focus of this new journal is to integrate audiology and neuro-otology at both the basic and the clinical levels. The editorial board is impressive, consisting of some of the leading researchers in the fields covered.

The journal contains both short and long original papers. Special issues are planned on selected topics. High-quality paper allows good reproduction of photomicrographs and the text is easy to read. The time from submission to acceptance is between one and five months, with a further one to five months between acceptance and publication. There are about five papers in each issue, and the articles are accessible electronically.

Most of the articles published so far could have appeared in other journals available in the field of audition. The success of this new periodical will therefore depend on its ability to bring together a mix of information not available elsewhere.
