Clarity Without Credibility? Human Versus AI Abstracts in Otolaryngology

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study evaluated whether otolaryngologists can distinguish between human‐ and machine‐written abstracts. The primary question was whether large language models (LLMs) produce abstracts comparable in clarity and usefulness to human‐authored work, and whether reviewers can identify authorship with accuracy.

The Relationship Between Blood Lipids, Coagulation Indexes, Blood Homocysteine and Sudden Deafness: A Retrospective Study and Mendelian Randomization Analysis

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Certain blood components, including blood lipids, coagulation parameters, and homocysteine, have been suggested to correlate with the incidence and prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). However, the nature of these associations remains controversial.

Comprehensive Evaluation of AI Consent Forms in Otolaryngologic Surgery

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Surgical consent documents are frequently written at reading levels exceeding average health literacy. Large language models (LLMs) may offer a scalable approach to generating clearer, procedure‐specific consent forms. This study evaluated the clarity, clinical accuracy, and acceptability of consent forms generated by GPT‐4 and ...

Automated Measurement of Speech Recognition, Reaction Time, and Speech Rate and Their Relation to Self-Reported Listening Effort for Normal-Hearing and Hearing-Impaired Listeners Using various Maskers

Trends in Hearing
In speech audiometry, the speech-recognition threshold (SRT) is usually established by adjusting the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) until 50% of the words or sentences are repeated correctly.
