Understanding and Managing Tinnitus
Tinnitus is the perception of noise or ringing in the ears. It's a common problem that affects about 15 to 20 percent of people. The noise can be a high-pitched ringing, a buzzing, a clicking, a hissing, or a roaring.

This builds on our article showing that few general ENTs perform stapes. We argued that stapes should not be a key indicator procedure for residency.
d nonacademic centers. Study Design Retrospective review. Setting Tertiary referral academic centers, nonacademic centers, and civilian purchased-care across the Department of Defense between 2015 and 2020. Patients Department of Defense beneficiaries with otosclerosis near a military treatment facility with an otolaryngologist. Interventions Stapedectomy (Current Procedural Terminology codes 69,660, 69,661, and 69,662). Main Outcome Measures Number of stapedectomies performed by setting. Results From 2015 to 2020, 426 stapedectomies were performed at or near a military treatment facility with an otolaryngologist (274 directly by military otolaryngologists, 152 by community providers). Military providers performed 94% of stapedectomies at or near military academic centers, versus only 30% at or near nonacademic centers (p < 0.0001). Among the 60 stapedectomies performed at nonacademic centers, only 30 were performed by general otolaryngologists (7% of all stapedectomies performed; 11% of procedures by military providers) while the rest were performed by fellowship-trained otologist or neurotologist. Conclusions Low stapes surgical volume by military general otolaryngologists reinforces recent epidemiologic trends and suggests that few general otolaryngologists graduate residency with sufficient competency to pursue independently performing stapedectomy or have difficulty maintaining competency after graduation....

I wish I knew enough French to follow all of it, but I did catch the comment regarding estrogen and otosclerosis. That association is still written in textbooks, but it may not stand the test of time. I wanted to share a few modern references on that topic:
The effect of pregnancy on otosclerosis is controversial. If pregnancy physiologically increases the risk of progression, females with children would be expected to receive stapedectomy earlier than childless females and males. Here, we seek to determine ...
