The role of hearing loss (HL) in surgical outcomes is not well studied and could greatly impact the lives of patients in the post-operative setting.Study DesignThis is a retrospective cohort study of adults who underwent subspecialty surgeries in Otolaryngology....
Findings may prompt audiologists and ENT teams to screen surgical patients for hearing loss and adapt post-operative communication, but the study's specific results are not yet available to confirm practice change.
Understanding how hearing loss influences surgical outcomes could lead to better-tailored perioperative care protocols for ENT patients.
