Today is International Day of Light. What's light go to do with hearing? We're glad you asked!
Light plays a central role in our lives. On the most fundamental level, through photosynthesis, light is at the origin of life itself, but the study of light has also led to lifesaving medical advances in diagnostics technology and treatments. For our clinical team, light allows them to see deep inside the ear canal so they can assess and diagnose Otitis media, also known as middle ear disease.
Diagnostic tools such as the revolutionary OtoSight Middle Ear Scope are a gamechanger when it comes to detecting middle ear disease using near-infrared light. Earbus is excited to be piloting this innovative technology as part of a research project in partnership with PhotoniCare, Inc. We are the only clinicians using this tool in the southern hemisphere.
