Progress and Prospects in Otorhinolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery in Ethiopia
ABSTRACT Introduction This paper aims to explore the current state of otorhinolaryngology—head and neck surgery (ORL‐HNS) training and practice in Ethiopia, identify major barriers to development, and also highlight the optimistic prospects for the future, with strategies to build a self‐sustaining ORL‐HNS specialty capable of meeting the growing needs

Association Characteristics and Potential Mechanisms of Aging, Gut Microbiota, and Hearing Loss
The study found that aging leads to unchanged gut microbiota alpha diversity but an increase in Bacteroidetes and a decrease in Firmicutes at the phylum level, with specific genera, species, and functional pathways co‐associated with aging and hearing loss. Through constructing a microbe‐metabolite network, it revealed the mechanism by which protective

The Moral (Un)Desirability of New Biomedical Technologies as Potential Techno‐Fixes
ABSTRACT The techno‐fix argument, used to argue against technological interventions that address the consequences of social problems instead of their underlying causes, is increasingly invoked in biomedical discussions. However, especially in biomedicine, the techno‐fix argument remains conceptually underdeveloped.

Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Pediatric Hearing Loss Along the Texas–Mexico Border
Project GIVE provided evaluations and genome sequencing to 23 children with hearing loss along the Texas–Mexico border. Seventy percent received a molecular diagnosis and 56% of those diagnosed had changes to medical management. In this region, underdiagnosis of genetic hearing loss is due to care barriers rather than lower genetic burden.
