A new study suggests the procedure can be safe for infants, and yield profound improvements in auditory outcomes.
Management of an Unusual Middle Ear Foreign Body
A 42-year-old male was recently fitted for occupational ear molds to protect him from excessive noise exposure at work and further hearing loss. During the fitting, he experienced severe, sudden otalgia and vertigo and complained that hearing loss in the left ear, his better-hearing ear, had worsened.
Innovation in Cochlear Impant Surgery
Procedures that now represent the cutting edge of cochlear implant (CI) surgery.
New Sudden Hearing Loss Guidelines Provoke Mixed Opinions
COSM 2012: Award Winners Tackle Sleep-Disordered Breathing, Unilateral Hearing Loss and Tumor Resections
Awards for the best Triological theses this year went to three researchers, including two co-Mosher Award winners and a Fowler award winner. The awards were given here at the 115th Annual Meeting of the Triological Society on April 20, held as part of the Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meetings.
The MRI-CT Faceoff in Pre-Operative Coclear Implant Staging
There is no one right answer to the question of which imaging test is best for patients with hearing loss who are candidates for cochlear implantation. Age, underlying pathology and the ability to tolerate radiation and sedation are just a few of the variables that can determine whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) or both are chosen in this clinical setting.
Otolaryngologists Concerned about Online Consumer Hearing Test
A subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group has launched an online hearing test and a line of lower-cost hearing devices that are generating alarm about patient safety among otolaryngologists.
SM12: Options for Hearing Loss are Multiplying

Window of Opportunity: New time frame suggested for cochlear implant surgery in advanced otosclerosis
A new treatment algorithm for advanced otosclerosis, based on the clinical experience of Dutch investigators and supported by a literature review they conducted, suggests that the window for successful cochlear implantation (CI) in patients with severe disease is narrower than some otolaryngologists may believe .
Biofilms in Otolaryngology: Relation to clinical disease needs more study, experts say
It is now well recognized that pathogens found in biofilms play a role in many mucosal-based otolaryngologic-related infections, but what that role is and how to prevent or treat biofilms remain unknown, concluded a panel of experts convened here on Sept. 17 at the 2011 American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Annual Meeting.
