Interesting and informative letter to the editor submitted by 2022 FASPE Medical Fellow Michael Denham

Nice work Nick Waring and Alexander Chern, MD for writing our cover article for The Hearing Journal this month!

Nice work Michael Denham Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons presenting the methods of our EARHLI randomized controlled trial American Neurotology Society COSM

Congrats to Emily Ishak & Michael Denham Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons on their presentation COSM showing that we do a much better job at treating and diagnosing hearing loss in kids than older adults. Why? Not right...!

Hearing aids reduced cognitive decline in an at-risk subgroup. Results from the long-awaited ACHIEVE randomized controlled trial published in The Lancet. First of its kind! JHU Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health Frank R. Lin, MD PhD thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Results from the first of its kind ACHIEVE randomized controlled trial. Hearing loss treatment is widely available, low risk, and now relatively affordable.

Older adults at greater risk for dementia may be able to protect themselves against cognitive decline by almost 50 percent with the use of hearing aids, new research shows. Nearly 2.5 billion people are expected to have some hearing loss, according to WHO. wapo.st/3DlOaJz

Thanks to Joseph Kannarkat (my former housemate!) and Ameet Sarpatwari for their work on this piece in JAMA Health Forum. The FDA and Congress face important decisions on implementing reforms laid out in 2013’s Drug Supply Chain Security Act.

With the conclusion of Match Week Columbia Otolaryngology is extremely proud of our VP&S students and wish them the best as they begin their careers as otolaryngologists - 7 for 7!
