ARHL impacts quality of life, cognitive function, and social well-being, yet access to hearing care remains limited due partly due to socioeconomic disparities, stigma, and gaps in interprofessional collaboration. This paper explores strategies to expand equitable access to hearing healthcare through interprofessional collaboration, policy advocacy, and community outreach. Nurses, otolaryngologists, audiologists, primary care providers, and public health professionals play keys roles in integrating hearing screenings into routine care, facilitating timely interventions, and addressing disparities. By leveraging electronic health record prompts, social determinants of health screenings, and interdisciplinary teamwork, healthcare systems can improve early detection and intervention for ARHL. Strengthening nurse-physician communication and fostering interprofessional collaboration ensures that hearing loss is recognized and addressed as a critical component of patient-centered care. Beyond conventional clinical settings, community-based initiatives and policy reforms can further enhance access to hearing services. Expanding insurance coverage for hearing aids, advocating for inclusive healthcare policies, and fostering partnerships with local organizations can bridge existing gaps in care. Additionally, educational campaigns aimed at reducing stigma and increasing public awareness are essential for promoting the adoption of hearing interventions. By emphasizing collaborative approaches to hearing health, this article highlights the importance of addressing ARHL as a clinical and public health priority.

These challenges include cognitive decline, depression, falls, and overall decreased quality of life. Despite its high prevalence, ARHL remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, partly due to its gradual onset, stigma, and lack of standardized screening and management protocols. This article provides a comprehensive overview of evidence-based strategies for the early detection and management of ARHL, with an emphasis on recent clinical practice guidelines where nurses are instrumental in leading quality improvement efforts. The multifactorial etiology of ARHL, encompassing genetic predispositions, environmental exposures, and physiological aging, is discussed alongside the health and socioeconomic impacts of untreated hearing loss, including cognitive decline and increased healthcare utilization. Routine screening and hearing assessments can be integrated into patient care visits for individuals aged 50 and above to improve early detection and opportunities for hearing loss management. Effective patient education involves individualized, culturally sensitive counseling that addresses the implications of untreated hearing loss and the benefits of early intervention, which can mitigate stigma and encourage proactive management. Assistive technologies such as consumer devices, hearing aids, and cochlear implants play a vital role in promoting hearing health in personalized care plans developed in collaboration with audiologists. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential to assess adherence, address challenges, and adjust interventions.

Despite these advances, children with hearing differences continue to face significant barriers in early identification, intervention, and inclusion, necessitating the continuous advocacy and involvement of interdisciplinary professionals in educational and healthcare settings. Nurses are instrumental in bridging healthcare and education, facilitating early detection of hearing differences through newborn screenings and routine school assessments. They have a role in coordinating medical and educational services and advocating for individualized accommodations that enhance learning experiences. However, inconsistent screening policies and lack of awareness among parents, educators, and pediatricians about early indicators of hearing differences persist represent barriers to timely intervention. This article also explores the broader social determinants affecting access to resources and interventions for children with hearing differences, such as socioeconomic disparities and insurance coverage. It advocates for stronger policies and resources to address these inequities and calls for an expanded role of nurses in promoting comprehensive educational access.

Additionally, the presenting symptoms of head and neck cancer may often be vague, mimicking symptoms of less serious illnesses. The following case highlights these challenges. The patient presented to his primary care physician with right facial paralysis involving difficulty closing his eye, as well as intermittent right ear pain. The patient was referred to neurology for a workup to diagnose Lyme Disease or Ramsay Hunt Auricularis. The patient was initially diagnosed with and treated for Ramsay Hunt Auricularis. Despite the treatment, the patient suffered two falls from a loss of consciousness. The cardiologist consulted in the emergency department noted no cardiac etiology. Ultimately, a Computerized Tomography scan and additional imaging revealed a parotid lesion, and the patient was diagnosed with salivary gland carcinoma. The tumor was encircling the internal carotid artery and was subsequently deemed inoperable. No distant metastases were noted. The patient was treated with concurrent chemoradiation using carboplatin and paclitaxel, and leuprolide for androgen receptor-positive cancer. The patient completed this treatment and continues leuprolide every three months. His most recent Positron Emission Tomography scan revealed no evidence of residual disease or recurrent/metastatic disease. The patient still experiences significant long-term treatment effects, such as lymphedema, trismus, and peripheral neuropathy, for which he undergoes rehabilitation services. This unique case is a prime example of the complicated diagnosis and treatment trajectories for patients with head and neck cancer.

Public health crises, as exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic which led to over 3,000 deaths among incarcerated individuals, can intensify disparities. Both acute otorhinolaryngology conditions, such as craniomaxillofacial trauma, impending airway compromise, and life-threatening infection, as well as more chronic conditions such as cancer, sinusitis, or ear infections can lead to impaired quality of life, disability, or preventable mortality. Incarcerated individuals experience substantial healthcare disparities, which are driven by intrinsic individual and carceral facility factors such as resource scarcity, structural barriers, limited self-advocacy, and social determinants of health, as well as extrinsic factors related to societal misconceptions, inadequate education of healthcare providers on carceral healthcare, and underdeveloped care systems. To address these issues, a comprehensive approach is needed, incorporating experiential learning, bias reduction, and trust building. Early clinical exposure, enhanced public health education, and community outreach efforts are conducive to cultivating structural competence and relevant skills. Carceral health initiatives can thus raise awareness and enhance the healthcare of incarcerated individuals. Healthcare professionals can expand their roles to advocate for equitable care, prioritize rehabilitation over punishment, and support individuals upon reentry into society. Healthcare professionals in otorhinolaryngology, play a pivotal role in addressing the needs of incarcerated individuals, with nurses, physicians, and allied health stakeholders working together.

Otolaryngology Nurses' Awareness of Clinical Practice Guidelines. 耳鼻喉科护士对临床实践指南的认识。

The study sought to answer the following: (1) How aware are ORL nurses of CPGs developed by the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF)? (2) Which CPGs are most widely identified by ORL nurses? and (3) Do ORL nurses perceive that AAO-HNSF guidelines can benefit their practice? An online survey was developed, piloted, and launched to all eligible registered nurse SOHN members in October 2015. A total of 146 nurses (29%) completed the survey. Over 60% of respondents were in nursing for more than 20 years, 20% were in ORL for 5 years or less, and 40% worked in the hospital, 25% were aware of one or less of the guidelines, with 75% aware of 2 or more specialty guidelines. Nurses were most aware of the tracheostomy care (64%), tonsillectomy in children (47%), and tympanostomy tubes in children (46%) guidelines. The majority of ORL nurses was aware of specialty CPGs and used them to help guide their clinical practice on a regular basis.
