Older adults with severe nerve impairment in Bell’s palsy experience markedly poorer recovery, highlighting the critical role of early, aggressive intervention.
This study identifies unilateral hearing loss, older age, and insurance status as key factors associated with poor adherence to bone conduction hearing devices in children with microtia, emphasizing the critical role of routine monitoring o
Electrodiagnostic tests, notably electroneuronography and electromyography, significantly improve prognosis prediction for Bell palsy recovery, including patients with moderate paralysis (H-B grade IV). These findings support broader use to
Emerging evidence links high pesticide exposure events (HPEEs) in farmers to increased self-reported olfactory dysfunction, though objective smell testing yields inconclusive associations, highlighting critical gaps and methodological consi
A multicenter study shows that adults with prolonged unilateral deafness benefit from cochlear implantation, with significant speech perception improvement and sustained device usage, challenging exclusion based solely on deafness duration.
This study explores the high prevalence of voice fatigue among e-cigarette users and its significant correlation with dry mouth (xerostomia).
This study evaluates the long-term sinonasal health and quality of life in children after removal of button batteries or magnets from the nose, highlighting favorable outcomes with prompt intervention and need for extended monitoring in sym
This study demonstrates that higher neighborhood deprivation correlates with increased voice handicap and reflux symptom burden, highlighting socioeconomic barriers in laryngologic care access and patient outcomes.
This article examines whether taking a dedicated research year increases meaningful scholarly output among 2025 otolaryngology residency applicants, highlighting that increases are mainly in unpublished and middle-author work rather than pu
The POuCH study clarifies outcomes of surgery for cricopharyngeal muscle dysfunction (CPMD) with Zenker diverticulum, distinguishing persistent from recurrent dysphagia via patient-reported EAT-10 scores, aiding clinical management of posto
This multicenter study assesses recurrence patterns in medullary thyroid cancer, finding ipsilateral neck sites are the most common recurrence locations, with limited evidence supporting routine contralateral prophylactic central neck disse
Tissue-informed circulating tumor DNA assays demonstrate high detection rates and exceptional sensitivity and specificity in monitoring HPV-positive and HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, supporting their clinical utility i
This study investigates the association between peri- and post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the risk of voice disorders, revealing transiently increased dysphonia risk within the first nine months but no sustained clinic
A two-stage tracheal reconstruction approach in well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma with tracheal invasion shows high decannulation rates, functional recovery, and promising 3-year survival, supporting its use for extensive tracheal defec
A retrospective study found that postoperative prednisone tapering does not reduce delayed facial nerve palsy incidence following acoustic neuroma resection and carries a 10% risk of steroid-related side effects.
This randomized controlled trial evaluates how patient-specific 3D-printed temporal bone models influence surgeon cognitive load during cochlear implantation, revealing experience-dependent benefits for attendings and challenges for trainee
A surgeon-led outpatient palliative care clinic for head and neck cancer patients demonstrated significant symptom improvement, prolonged survival, and high rates of home or hospice deaths, underscoring its value in multidisciplinary cancer
This study assesses the perceptual realism of synthetic laryngeal images created using StyleGAN3, revealing high ambiguity between real and synthetic frames and highlighting efficient training durations for realistic image generation.
This study develops a surgical map delineating high-risk anatomical sites linked to poor local control in salvage endoscopic nasopharyngectomy, improving patient selection and oncologic outcomes in recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Neighborhood deprivation measured by ADI correlates with poorer pre-implant speech recognition and quality of life but does not impact post-implantation benefits, highlighting socioeconomic disparities in cochlear implant access rather than
