Traditionally, clinical outcomes measuring how a patient feels, functions, or survives are preferred endpoints in clinical trials; however, some may take a long time to manifest in slowly developing diseases. Biomarkers, if properly validated, can serve as surrogate endpoints, acting as substitutes for clinical outcomes.

ABSTRACT Background Hearing loss affects 1.5 billion people globally, with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) linked to hypertension. Hypertension affects 1.39 billion people worldwide and its prevalence is rising sharply in Sub‐Saharan Africa. While 12% of Tanzanian population has cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension and recent studies ...

Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or Intratympanic Steroids in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is traditionally treated with steroids, either orally and/or via intratympanic injections, and hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) has resurged in popularity as an adjunctive therapy. The study has not found any additional treatment benefit with adjunctive concurrent HBOT; however, HBOT might be of value to patients ...

Screaming‐Induced Acute Noise Exposure During Pediatric Ear Procedures
Pediatric ENT procedures can generate rapid spikes in noise exposure due to patient screaming. Real‐time LAeq and cumulative dose measurements showed that recommended limits may be exceeded within minutes. These findings highlight acute acoustic risks for healthcare providers and the need for sensory‐adapted care environments.
