The missing link: how migraine neurophysiology amplifies tinnitus
This article discusses an emerging hypothesis linking bothersome tinnitus with migraine-related sensory processing dysfunction. When evaluating patients with tinnitus, a range of contrasting experiences are noted, from mild, non-bothersome symptoms to those associated with significant distress – broadly corresponding to...Innovative approaches to treating deafness
Shahar Taiber and Karen Avraham give us a summary of gene therapies for hearing loss, with an overview of limitations and what the future holds. Hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder. The last two decades have seen a...The future of inner ear drug delivery
The techniques for delivering drugs to the inner ear system are evolving. Jeffrey Harris considers the myths, the facts and the potential for drug delivery innovations and how they can improve tomorrow’s hearing outcomes. The inner ear’s delicate membranous structure,...Assessing extended high-frequency hearing
The frequency range of human hearing spans 20 Hz to 20 kHz. In the UK, standard audiometry usually assesses 0.25–8 kHz; the extended high frequencies (EHFs) are those above 8 kHz. The importance of assessing EHF hearing has been increasingly...ENT In this issue...Robotics in Head and Neck Surgery
Robotic surgery is here to stay. Within the specialty of otolaryngology, robotics has made headway across all of the subspecialties, although some advances may still be at the pre-clinical stage. The clinical applications are most acutely evident in the practice of head and neck cancer surgery, specifically transoral robotic surgery (TORS).EUHA Sponsorship Award competition
For the twelfth time, the Europäische Union der Hörakustiker eV (EUHA) will be giving its Sponsorship Award for the next generation of acoustic researchers.2023 EUHA Sponsorship Award
The European Union Hearing Aid Acousticians (EUHA) invites students to apply for the 2023 EUHA Sponsorship Award.
Basic Concepts of Clinical Electrophysiology in Audiology
Signal averaging principles have been around since 1875, but their application in medicine to enhance biologic signals was first made in 1947 for improved detection of electroencephalographic signals. It took a few more years until the first electrophysiological studies were...
Outcomes for transoral vestibule approach thyroid surgery
Ed’s choice explores a systematic review examining one of the recent innovations in head and neck surgery. It may come as a surprise to some that within a few years of the first published cases of transoral vestibule thyroidectomy, an...
Outcomes of temporal bone-resurfacing for pulsatile tinnitus associated with vascular wall anomalies
This month’s Ed’s choice is an interesting systematic review into the management of pulsatile tinnitus. There are impressive results from resurfacing of symptomatic anatomical abnormalities of the temporal bone and I suspect that referrals for further imaging and otology clinic...
Can we predict risk of adverse events preoperatively in patients undergoing head and neck cancer surgery?
Ed’s Choice reviews a paper aiming to create a reliable index to predict postoperative outcomes in head and neck cancer patients. This interesting study identifies variables that may assist in risk assessing prospective surgical candidates. There have been a few...
