A Washington Post article features quotes from Dr. Stankovic on how airplane noise can impact hearing and offers strategies for prevention hearing loss
Dr. Troy D. Woodard was our guest of honor at graduation!
Dr. Pa-Chun Wang visited Stanford OHNS for a special talk this month!
Dr. Stankovic is cited by The Washington Post article as saying that airplane noise, though usually safe, can still harm hearing over time. Even moderate, prolonged exposure may damage inner ear cells, especially in sensitive individuals.
For graduation, we held our annual Residency Research Symposium, which featured the prestigious Willard E. Fee, Jr. Lectureship delivered by Dr. Troy D. Woodard, President of the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery.
This month, we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Pa-Chun Wang to campus for a special talk titled “Strive for Prediction: My AI Journey in Otolaryngology.”
Dr. Lloyd Minor gave a keynote speech at Vanderbilt OHNS!
The Pediatric Otolaryngology Division participated in the Summer Scamper, Stanford Medicine Children’s Health Event!
Grace Kim, MD, received a CORE Award for her proposal, “Role of Cochlear Immune Cells in Congenital Cytomegalovirus-Related Hearing Loss.”
Dr. Lloyd Minor served as a keynote speaker at Vanderbilt Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Department's Resident Research Day! He was honored with the 31st Annual John Q. Adams Lectureship Award.
As part of the Childhood Development and Hearing Center in the Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology, the Ear-resistible team had another strong showing this year at the annual Summer Scamper, Stanford Medicine Children’s Health event. We’re grateful for the incredible support from our faculty, audiologists, postdoctoral fellows, students, administrative staff, and their families. Many volunteered their time to educate the community about how the ear works, raise awareness of hearing loss, and help raise funds to support our mission.
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common non-genetic cause of hearing loss, yet the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Dr. Kim's research project aims to understand how the developing immune system - which usually protects against infections - may contribute to inner ear injury and hearing loss.
