The role of metrics in studies of hearing and cognition
Introduction When perceiving sounds in real-world listening environments, older adults encounter several sources of degradation that can interfere with the perceptual process (Figure 1). Target signals (i.e. the sounds that a listener wants to focus on) have specific acoustic characteristics...Scientific advances in mapping syndromic hearing loss
From more than 22000 genes that we humans have, approximately 3000 genes are associated with human communication. There are tens of syndromes which have been identified to be accompanied by hearing loss. Disorders of almost every organ of the body...ENT in this issue...Historical Figures in ENT and Audiology

Cochlear Implant Patient Assessment: Evaluation of Candidacy, Performance, and Outcomes – Second Edition
The second edition of Cochlear Implant Patient Assessment aims to become a point of reference for all professionals involved in assessing cochlear implant candidacy and interested in broadening their knowledge to maximise the hearing capabilities of their patients. This book...
Early cochlear implant activation and its effects on the cochlea
In this article, Alhabib et al consider the changes to electrode impedance with early device activation (day one) compared to conventional activation (day 30). Activation at day 30 is a cautious approach, which has been popular for many years. However,...
Laryngology: A Case-Based Approach
This unique book was written based on the novel enquiry-based teaching method particularly to illustrate laryngology conditions. It contains both adult and paediatric pathology. Each chapter starts with one or more case scenarios along with other useful subheadings to explain...
Darn it! It’s going to take longer to get good at stapes surgery!
Traditionally, it has been said the learning curve for a particular operation lies between 20 and 30 cases. In stapedotomy, a surgeon is deemed successful and perhaps competent if closure of the air-bone gap (ABG) is reached to within 10dB...
Medical information required with requests for CT scans of the temporal bones; a two cycle audit
It is a common experience that radiology reports on the CT scans of the temporal bones do not always reach a diagnosis. Various studies have produced differing results in that detailed information may not be necessary to help reach a...
Postoperative ultrasound surveillance in patients undergoing hemithyroidectomy
Hemithyroidectomy, as opposed to total thyroidectomy with radioiodine remnant ablation, is now increasingly undertaken for low-risk, differentiated thyroid cancer. If on histology, this proves ‘high risk’, completion thyroidectomy is done fairly soon. In this retrospective study, a total of 105...
