Sound advice for staying healthy: promoting holistic health in adults with hearing loss
Hearing loss is linked to chronic conditions like dementia and heart disease. Dr Maidment explores how integrated healthcare can improve outcomes, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach. Emerging evidence suggests that hearing loss is associated with an increased risk...Sniffing out the evidence – COVID-19 and loss of sense of smell and taste
Louis Pasteur once observed: “In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind.” Professor Hopkins was certainly prepared when a few anecdotes of smell problems started to accumulate early in the pandemic’s course. Post-viral olfactory loss is nothing...Cochlear implantation in the developing world: perspectives from the Indian subcontinent
Cochlear implants are an expensive technology, yet profound hearing loss is far from a developed-world phenomenon. On the contrary, incidences of both congenital and acquired hearing losses are high in the developing world. This article explains how an initiative in...Laryngeal papillomatosis
Laryngeal papillomatosis remains one of the most frustrating conditions seen by laryngologists. Sam Majumdar gives us an overview of the current science and clinical practice. Human papilloma virus is a small (> 8kb) double stranded DNA virus with approximately 200...Targeted focal parathyroidectomy
Leanne Hamilton and Louise Clark describe their technique for helping to localise parathyoid adenomas. Surgically this can be difficult, so careful preoperative evaluation using imaging as described can help minimise difficulties intraoperatively when identifying the parathyroid adenoma. Preoperative imaging has...In conversation with Chrysa Spyridakou, Robert Nash, Emma Clement, Nish Mehta and Anne GM Schilder
Jaclyn Tan interviews members of the London-based multidisciplinary hearing team, about their insights to auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, and their vision for the future management of this challenging range of conditions. Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) describes a wide range...Robotics in rhinology – fantasy or the future?
Robotic surgery is advancing, but its use in rhinology lags due to spatial constraints and high costs. Innovations in flexible robots may bridge this gap in the future. We are in a new era, one of artificial intelligence and robotics....Radiology of referred otalgia
Otalgia is a common presenting complaint to Ear Nose and Throat Departments. Otalgia is either primary or secondary (referred) [1]. Referred otalgia is a ‘red flag’ symptom and can be a diagnostic challenge for clinicians and radiologists as the pathology...The first nine months: why early hearing matters more than ever
Why 1-3-6 and 9? They are arguably crucial intervention stages. Here, new science is explored which weaves together the threads of early intervention. Imagine a newborn gazing at their caregiver’s face, hearing their voice and feeling the rhythm of their...
