A viable solution for isolated post-nasal drip?
This retrospective, single-centre case series looked at a cohort of patients with postnasal drip as their primary symptom. Exclusions were patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. The interventions offered were temperature-controlled radio frequency (TCRF) ablation of the posterior nasal nerve delivered by...
Tubomanometry in eustachian tube dysfunction
This prospective study evaluated the validity and reliability of tubomanometry (TMM) in 25 patients with sinus disease, 75 patients with middle ear disease and 25 healthy volunteers. After thorough clinical examination, the participants were evaluated with TMM, nasal endoscope, otoendoscope,...

Tinnitus in patients on therapy with PPI and in PPI non–users
Tinnitus is a chronic and debilitating condition and approximately 10% of the population is afflicted. A myriad of pharmacological treatments for tinnitus are available but only a few controlled studies have shown positive results.

This book provides a good reference for anyone starting out in the field of balance assessment, and would be a useful book in any balance assessment clinic as a source of information from anatomy to test interpretation. Anatomy and physiology...
Which cross-over frequency is best for electro-acoustic stimulation?
Advances in technology and improved soft surgical techniques have led to individuals with better hearing thresholds, especially at the low frequencies, becoming candidates for cochlear implants (CI). Surgeons are more confident that residual hearing can be preserved thus making those...
Patient-reported outcome measures: what do the people say?
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) assess and quantify health outcomes from the patient’s perspective. Defining these questionnaires as outcomes indicates that they are psychometrically sensitive to change. This article describes three PROMS: namely the Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS),...Take part in the FAMOUS study
Could your clinic be one of 40 NHS sites across the UK to participate in the FAMOUS study? Organisers need your help to improve the assessment and management of adult hearing loss.
