Comprehensive hearing aid program within an ear, nose, and throat office.

Hearing aid dispensing within an otolaryngological/audiological clinic is a well accepted fact, and offers total hearing care in a professional setting. The effectiveness of such a program as to wearing habits and acceptance of services rendered, to my knowledge, has not been studied. This paper discussed data obtained from a questionnaire sent out to 1100 hearing aid patients. The questionnaire was designed to study satisfaction with clinic services and costs, acceptance and adjustment, communication abilities and wearing habits. Statistical analysis was performed by the Department of Biometry at LSU Shreveport. The information received is valuable in determining when hearing aids are most helpful and least helpful and brings out some factors which should influence one in determining who should and should not be fitted with amplification.

Endoscopic photography of the ear, nose, and throat.

The ability to view and photograph the ears, nose, nasopharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx has been revolutionized by the advent of the flexible fiberoptic nasopharyngolaryngoscope. For the first time the otolaryngologist has a one-instrument capability for examination and photodocumentation of the structures with which the specialty deals. This should not imply that the conventional means of examination should be relegated to museums, but rather that a new instrument has been added to the diagnostic armamentarium. The real visual images may be readily adapted for photography. The author will detail a straightforward and inexpensive method for obtaining high quality color transparencies, and color and sound video tapes.

Lemierre's syndrome: the link between a simple sore throat, sore neck and pleuritic chest pain.

An unusual case of tonsillitis which showed progression to this rare syndrome despite treatment with intravenous antibiotics. Lemierre's syndrome is a rare condition characterised by a triad of: sepsis, thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein along with pleuropulmonary and/or distant metastatic abscesses. Diagnosis rests on a high index of suspicion and is confirmed by culture of Fusobacterium spp. from blood or infected sites. Radiological investigations are established aids for confirmation of diagnosis. Treatment is with appropriate antibiotics for at least 6 weeks and surgical drainage of abscesses if required. This case has been presented to highlight the mode of presentation, diagnostic tools employed and the management of the complications that featured in this condition.
