Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
According to the World Health Organization, around 466 million people all over the world have hearing loss caused by various factors; therefore, proper diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of ENT diseases are extremely important to help patients to hear and live better. However, early and accurate diagnosis and appropriate, effective treatment are not easy; these are complex and difficult processes. Nowadays, a lot of people suffer from moderate and severe hearing loss and other serious hearing impairments, for instance, otosclerosis or sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Fortunately, there is also a number of possible methods of treatment, starting from hearing aids and minor surgical procedures, to implantable hearing devices and complicated surgeries. The following surgeries need to be mentioned here: cochlear implantations, bone-conduction and middle ear implants, middle ear surgery, stapedotomy, and procedures using different protheses and attachments. Additionally, it is worth noting that glucocorticosteroids and corticosteroids might be helpful in treatment of some cases. All these otological solutions need to be discussed to improve possible methods of treatment; share personal own experiences; and, as a consequence, provide better healthcare for patients with hearing impairments. Secondly, from random ENT diseases, sinus disorders are common in patients.Therefore, it is important to pay more attention to the diagnosis and treatment of sinus infections, which are often underestimated.
The main aim of the Special Issue is to share knowledge, personal experiences, current strategies and future perspectives and expectations in diagnostic process and treatment of most common otorhinolaryngological diseases, especially in the field of otology and rhinology.
