Tihana Mendeš
<p>A specialist in otolaryngology with a narrower subspecialization in audiology, dedicated to advanced diagnostics and treatment of balance disorders. My primary professional focus is vestibular rehabilitation, in which I apply innovative virtual reality (VR) technologies to accelerate the recovery process and neuroplasticity in patients with vertigo. As a professor at the Faculty of Medicine in Osijek and at the university's Speech Therapy program, I actively combine clinical practice with academic work. I lead courses that address hearing and balance issues, and mentor students in the application of new technologies in rehabilitation medicine. My goal is to integrate digital solutions into everyday clinical practice in order to provide patients with more precise therapy and a better quality of life.</p>
