Last month, Dr. Nikolas Blevins was an invited faculty member at the Open Medical Institute’s Otology and Temporal Bone Surgery course held in Salzburg, Austria. He was one of seven renowned surgeons invited to share their expertise with 34 participants from 25 countries at the course. The program included a full day in the hands-on dissection lab, where participants practiced and refined otologic techniques such as mastoidectomy, stapedectomy, and the facial recess approach, complemented by engaging lectures.

Congratulations to Dr. Peter Hwang, Professor & Chief of the Division of Rhinology & Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery, Stanford Medicine! TIME magazine has released its annual list of the year’s best inventions and recognized "SoundHealth Sonu: Drug-free sinus relief,” a headband developed by Dr. Hwang.

The technology utilizes targeted vibrations to alleviate sinus congestion by constricting inflamed tissue and facilitating mucus movement. It was created in collaboration with Dr. Bryant Lin and Dr. Paramesh Gopi, and recently became the first FDA-approved device for treating nasal congestion and allergies without the use of drugs.

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Tulio Valdez has been awarded a $2.8 million grant from the NIH’s Advancing Non-Invasive Optical Imaging Approaches for Biological Systems initiative!

This funding will support Dr. Valdez and his co-principal investigator, Ellen Sletten from UCLA, in developing a groundbreaking real-time, high-resolution imaging system. Their work aims to enhance deep tissue imaging and provide detailed molecular insights, paving the way for improved early disease detection and non-invasive treatment strategies.

Congratulations, Dr. Valdez! Your innovative research is set to transform the future of medical imaging! 🌟

What a week! 🤩 Stanford OHNS had an inspiring and unforgettable experience at AAO-HNSF & OTO EXPO 2025.

From cutting-edge presentations and thought-provoking panels to reconnecting with mentors, alumni, and colleagues, this conference was a reminder of how far we’ve come—and how far there is yet to go in advancing otolaryngology.

Grateful to everyone who joined us. Let’s carry this momentum forward—together, we’ll keep pushing boundaries in care, research, and education. See you in LA in 2026! 🌟 #

But wait, there’s more! Here’s two additional, great panels featuring Stanford OHNS this afternoon!

In the podcast with Huberman Lab, Dr. Stankovic explains how hearing works and why hearing loss—affecting over 1.5 billion people—impacts people of all ages. She discusses how hearing loss impairs focus and increases the risk of cognitive decline, as well as the role of menopause and other biological milestones in hearing health, and shares science-backed protocols to protect your hearing and highlight risks to avoid.

💥Hardest and longest I’ve worked on a study in my life! Three years to complete, a year from presentation to publication, for those of you out there walking this path, you know an end result like this is only after a lot of blood, sweat, and tears.

🤖I know there’s a lot of AI news out there - but here we present a truly groundbreaking step - physicians with no coding background utilizing a publicly available AI platform to diagnose specific tumor types based on imaging alone. Could this lead to a future without need for painful, complex, and costly biopsy? Yes, yes it could.

💞So grateful and proud of all my co-authors who contributed in so many different ways - we could not have accomplished this without you.(Too many authors to tag - please tag yourselves!)
