09-12, 09:00–10:00 (Europe/Istanbul), Humanitarian + Transverse Activities + Global Outreach
Description
This session highlights the latest research and innovation in ear and hearing science, aligned with the mission of the Mirko Tos Ear & Hearing Research Center. We explore cutting-edge developments, ranging from molecular biomarkers for early diagnosis to minimally invasive surgical techniques. Key topics include novel auditory implants, tinnitus management strategies, and translational research on inner ear pathophysiology. By bringing together audiologists, surgeons, and basic scientists, we aim to accelerate the development of personalized therapies for complex auditory and vestibular disorders.
Outcome Objectives
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
Identify emerging trends in middle ear surgery and hearing rehabilitation technologies.
Evaluate the clinical utility of new diagnostic biomarkers for sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus.
Apply multidisciplinary, evidence-based strategies to improve patient outcomes in the management of chronic ear disease and vestibular dysfunction.
Professor Mirko Tos was a pioneering figure in otology, renowned for his extensive work on middle ear epidemiology, cholesteatoma pathology, and eustachian tube function. This initiative builds upon his legacy by addressing persistent gaps in auditory science. Despite significant medical advancements, hearing loss and inner ear disorders remain global challenges. We aim to perpetuate Professor Tos’s spirit of inquiry by fostering multidisciplinary collaboration, bridging the critical gap between preclinical findings and clinical applications in otology and neurotology.
