 Austrian otologist who won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1914 for his work on the physiology and pathology of the vestibular (balancing) apparatus of the inner ear.

      Bárány graduated in medicine from the University of Vienna in 1900.

Bárány served in the Austrian army in World War I and was taken prisoner by the Russians in 1915. He was a prisoner of war when the Nobel Prize was awarded to him that year. From 1917 until his death he taught at Uppsala University, where he was head of the ear, nose, and throat clinic.
