A cross-sectional study determined the provision of hearing devices and cochlear implants for children and adolescents aged under 18 years with permanent hearing loss from 2010 to 2020.

For a large percentage of children and adolescents, management of hearing loss took place after the age of 1. The frequent initial provision of hearing technology at preschool age indicates that the proportion of hearing loss that is acquired, detected late, or treated late remained quite high even after the introduction of newborn hearing screening. There is an obvious need for comprehensive tracking of children who fail newborn hearing screening and for other screening and hearing tests. The data for 2020 suggest that hearing loss was diagnosed and treated later due to the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>","PeriodicalId":55052,"journal":{"name":"Hno","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144062323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the treatment of head and neck cancer, both terms have a direct influence on diagnostic procedures, which are usually carried out in pathology institutes. The current article examines the conflicting requirements arising from various technical analyses, regulatory requirements, structural changes due to digitalization, and the advent of personalized medicine. On the one hand, the goal is to promote interdisciplinary exchange by understanding the challenges and, on the other, to provide the otorhinolaryngologist with a practical understanding of the common and current pathological diagnostic tests. Using pathology as an example, it can be shown that standardization of procedures ultimately serves to improve individualized treatment. At the same time, however, the following challenges are also apparent: despite comprehensive regulations and a laboratory environment with digital support, standardization is very time consuming and costly. If similar standardization approaches are to be implemented in an operative environment such as, e.g., ENT surgery, the effort involved can be expected to be equivalent or higher due to the human factor.</p>","PeriodicalId":55052,"journal":{"name":"Hno","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144026916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
