Age-related peripheral hearing impairment (HI) is prevalent, treatable, and may be a risk factor for dementia in older adults. In prospective analysis, we quantified the association of HI with incident domain-specific cognitive decline memory, perceptual speed, processing speed. Data were from Health, Aging Body Composition (Health ABC) study, biracial cohort well-functioning adults aged 70–79 years. Dementia was defined using prespecified algorithm incorporating medication use, hospital...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact patient positioning on physician ergonomics during in-office otologic procedures. A previous simulation suggested that placing patients supine otology procedures is ergonomically favorable. This aims substantiate these findings routine care in an otolaryngology practice setting.Observational study.Outpatient clinic within tertiary facility.Two neurotology attending physicians.Physicians performed cerumen removal office with either seated...

Abstract Genetic testing has allowed otolaryngologists to diagnose 40-65% of pediatric sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) patients with a genetic disorder. Previous research focused on the utility in workup SNHL and otolaryngologists’ general understanding genetics. This qualitative study explores factors that influence United States initiate conversations about families loss, describes common practices among for accessing services, identifies barriers proposes potential solutions overcoming...
