Role of the otologist/neurotologist in managing auricular and periauricular cutaneous malignancies: A 10-year otologic oncology experience. [PDF]
Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol, 2023 Auricular/periauricular cutaneous malignancies can be challenging to manage surgically due to the complex anatomy of the region. Otologists/neurotologists have unique skillsets that are well‐suited to surgically treat these patients. We demonstrate the importance and feasibility of an otologist/neurotologist incorporating the surgical management of ...

Tinnitus and auditory cortex; Using adapted functional near-infrared-spectroscopy to expand brain imaging in humans. [PDF]
Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol, 2021 Abstract Objectives Phantom sound perception (tinnitus) may arise from altered brain activity within auditory cortex. Auditory cortex neurons in tinnitus animal models show increased spontaneous firing rates. This may be a core characteristic of tinnitus. Functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has shown similar findings in human auditory cortex.
