Association for Research in Otolaryngology

We look forward to participating in this year’s ARO meeting.  We are pleased to count many ARO members among our customers. If you want to meet with us during ARO, drop us a line to let us know how we can help you.

The Association for Research in Otolaryngology is an international association of scientists and physicians dedicated to scientific exploration among all of the disciplines in the field of otolaryngology. Research efforts involve the ear, nose, head, neck and related functions including hearing, balance, speech, taste and smell among others. A wide range of scientific approaches is represented including biochemical, physiological, behavioral, developmental, and evolutionary.

Some of the most interesting work we have seen of late involves recording EEG and AEP from patients with cochlear implants 1) for the purpose of using evoked responses as an objective basis for tuning the implant, and 2) as a window into cortical plasticity as patients’ brains “learn” to process auditory information for the first time. Several good examples of this work are in the publication list below, and some additional examples are discussed in the abstracts in the program book from the 2017 Conference on Implantable Auditory Prostheses.

Here are some of the products that may be of interest to ARO2018 attendees:
