Commercial-grade, app-based pure tone audiometry demonstrates an overall strong correlation and accuracy with traditional audiometry, but it is not intended to replace an evaluation performed in a controlled environment with calibrated equipment and a skillfully trained clinician.
Ophthalmic Medication Maxitrol Shown to Eradicate Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Biofilm In Vitro
Bacterial biofilms are a feature of many chronic diseases of the head/neck. Few of the topical antibiofilm agents that can be used to eradicate biofilms in vitro are suitable for otolaryngological application. Maxitrol may demonstrate antibiofilm activity and may therefore be useful in the management of biofilm-related disease in the head/neck.

Placebo-Controlled Study Shown Viable in Evaluating Efficacy of Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty
The multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial protocol was shown to be feasible and demonstrated the need for blinded randomized controlled trials to objectively measure the efficacy of balloon Eustachian tuboplasty.
QOL Factors Impact Patient Decision to Undergo Cochlear Implantation
Although functional outcome expectations are similar between candidates who elect to receive or forgo cochlear implants, the latter have higher baseline CI-specific quality of life abilities.
Higher Prevalence of Hearing Loss Among Cancer Survivors
Findings suggest that cancer survivors have a significantly higher prevalence of both audiometry-confirmed and self-reported hearing loss than the general population.
