Article Synopsis
  • Digital transformation in medical education, particularly in otorhinolaryngology, involves integrating digital teaching methods and skills, which require updates in training and competency profiles.
  • A survey of assistant professors from 37 ENT departments in Germany revealed that only 25% of departments include digital skills training in their curriculum, and only half utilize digital formats for undergraduate teaching.
  • While progress has been made, especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there remains significant room for improvement in both undergraduate and advanced training within the field.

Background: Previous research demonstrated benefits of adaptive digital microphone technologies (ADMTs) in adults with single-sided deafness (SSD) having a cochlear implant (CI). Children with SSD are especially affected by background noise because of their noise exposure in kindergarten and school.

Purpose: This article aims to evaluate possible effects of ADMT on speech recognition in background noise in children with SSD who use a CI.
