AI reshaping the landscape of head and neck cancer
With artificial intelligence set to transform almost every aspect of life, Abishek Mahajan reviews its potential to improve head and neck cancer care. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in healthcare. In the realm of oncology, AI...Combined use of a hearing aid and a cochlear implant: a case study
When multi-channel cochlear implants (CIs) were first introduced in the 1980s, their use was restricted to people who derived no benefit from conventional amplification. Over the past three decades, however, the criteria for CIs has been relaxed considerably, and it...The Journal of the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa (JCMSA): a model for sharing research from low- and middle-income countries
A new open-access journal from South Africa offers a sustainable model to amplify research from low- and middle-income countries and rebalance global health knowledge. More than 80% of the world’s population lives in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Yet high-income...The role of objective measures and imaging to optimise cochlear implant outcomes
Should we be using new or novel objective measures and imaging to assist with our cochlear implant patients? Debi Vickers and Shak Saeed describe current clinical techniques and present advances that have the potential to optimise outcomes. Introduction It is...Patient-centred and accelerating progress: two organisations changing the landscape for rare skull base tumours
Patient-led organisations are transforming care for rare skull base tumours by connecting patients, clinicians and researchers to accelerate diagnosis, support and scientific progress. A skull base tumour diagnosis is a difficult time for any patient, but it is made more...In conversation with Rosaleen Shine
Rosaleen Shine is synonymous with ENT and Audiology News. She was a key member of the team that founded what was then ENT News 25 years ago, and is well known to ORL and audiology colleagues all over the globe....

Professor Sir Donald Harrison (DFNH) had a strong interest in comparative anatomy of the larynx, which was supported by a close relationship with the London Zoo who provided specimens from any mammals in the collection that died and had undergone...EEG as a measure of neuroplasticity in children
Measuring changes in neural activity can teach us a lot about hearing loss and the effect of gained functional hearing. In this article, the authors describe how electroencephalography (EEG) is being used to effectively measure such changes in children with...Ethics, conduct and sinonasal surgery
For the three plenary sessions at ERS 2023, we asked top leaders in the field to enlighten us in the general aspects of our profession that need attention. Prof Gil Siegal will discuss the ethical questions we encounter in our...The HEARO Procedure for cochlear implantation
Cochlear implants have become the state-of-the-art treatment for profound to severe sensorineural hearing loss. Since its popularisation, many aspects of this technology have constantly been optimised. Processors have become smaller, are worn behind the ear and are even water resistant....
