Purpose: Patients often refer to online materials when researching surgical procedures. This study compares the educational quality of online videos about tympanostomy tubes on two popular video platforms: YouTube and Facebook. This study provides clinicians with context about the content and quality of information patients may possess after watching online videos on tympanostomy tubes.

Factors Associated With Loss to Follow Up After Temporal Bone Fracture.
Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol
September 2024
Introduction: Inpatient and outpatient evaluation is important for management of temporal bone trauma due to the possible otologic complications that can result. However, there is limited literature on follow up rates following temporal bone fracture. This study aimed to determine the proportion of patients lost to follow up after sustaining temporal bone fractures and identify factors associated with loss to follow up.

- Otoacoustic emissions (OAE) are used to assess cochlear function, but middle ear problems can affect test results, prompting this study on the influence of tympanostomy tubes.
- A review was conducted of pediatric patients who received tympanostomy tubes and had OAE tests before and after surgery to see if their results improved.
- The findings revealed a significant increase in OAE presence post-surgery, indicating that tympanostomy tubes effectively enhance cochlear function in patients suffering from middle ear dysfunction.
Objectives: To describe a rare complication of cholesteatoma.
Methods: Case report with literature review.
Results: We report a case of a 37-year-old male who presented for evaluation of otorrhea, headache, and progressive left sensorineural hearing loss.
Purpose: The relationship between specific external ear anomalies (EEA) and hearing loss has been previously described. However, there is no literature regarding the appropriate evaluation of patients with EEA by audiology or otolaryngology. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of audiologic or otolaryngologic evaluation of patients with EEA.
