Semi implantable bone conduction devices: challenges and developments
Bone conduction mechanisms and history of bone conduction aids Bone conduction hearing devices work by stimulating hair cells via the bone conduction hearing pathways. These pathways are less well understood than the air conduction pathways, but recent research has shown...ENT in this issue...FESS - The Stammberger Legacy (May/Jun19)

Many of us will have been stuck with an ‘earworm’ for a day but consider how it would be to have that earworm stuck on repeat, possibly forever. Drs Lauw, Blom and Coebergh review the current literature on musical hallucinations...Thyroid nodules – time for a rational imaging approach
“The more you know, the harder it is to take decisive action. Once you become informed, you start seeing complexities and shades of gray. You realize that nothing is as clear as it first appears. Ultimately, knowledge is paralyzing.” Calvin,...Audible Contrast Threshold – a new test to guide setting help-in-noise features in hearing aids
A new diagnostic test that is quick and has directly applicable results to hearing aid settings has arrived, but how does it work? Leigh Martin has the answers. In an earlier article for ENT & Audiology News, Parmar and Rajasingam...
The theory of everything (tonsil)?
Tonsil sepsis can manifest as acute tonsillitis, a peritonsillar abscess (PTA) or rarely as an intra-tonsillar (ITA) abscess. Whilst the management of these conditions is familiar to ENT surgeons from early in training, perhaps little attention has been paid to...In conversation: Cesare Piazza and Giuseppe Spriano

This article reviews theories of how verbal short term memory (STM) interacts with other language functions and thus how semantics or phonology of target items can influence what individuals remember. The authors describe examples from the research literature that have...Nuclear heads – and necks
Imaging of the extra-cranial head and neck is challenging due to the anatomic complexity of the region. CT, MRI and ultrasonography (US) are amongst the most frequently utilised radiological modalities in head and neck imaging but do not always provide...
