ManCAD's upcoming inaugural research conference has been playfully named ‘Research CAPers’ – as in Research Clinical Auditory Papers. This year’s conference highlighted the scientific accomplishments of Professor Dave Moore – who is retiring later this year from his various academic roles.
Reasons for rejection of BAHA in patients with unilateral hearing loss
Ever since Tjellström first developed the procedure of BAHA implantation, the techniques have come a long way towards faster and more convenient surgical methods to offer better hearing for a wide variety of conditions. Unilateral hearing loss has now been...
Total lower lip reconstruction: a review
Total or near total defects of the lower lip may result from trauma, cancer ablation or congenital causes. Defects usually involve the full thickness and include skin, muscle and mucosa. There are a number of techniques for the one stage...
Auditory processing in children with unilateral hearing loss

Learning how to interpret a CT scan of the temporal bones can be a daunting task, especially for a head and neck surgeon like me! However, to make life easier, the authors have devised a useful system to help cover...Fifteen years of vestibular implant research in humans
Implants: it’s all in the balance! Prof Guyot and his team give us an update on their research in addressing bilateral vestibular deficits via an implant. Doctors are often unaware that people, even young, may lose vestibular function on both...
