It is estimated that more than 30 million Americans over the age of 12 years have hearing loss in both ears and an estimated 48 million have hearing loss in at least one ear. In the military the two most prevalent service-connected disabilities are related to hearing disorders. The most recent data from the Veterans Benefits Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs indicates that there are 1.1 million Veterans with service-connected disability due to hearing loss. The HRRP will fund innovative research that has the potential to maximize operational effectiveness, medical readiness and quality of life for Service members, Veterans and others living with significant auditory system injuries.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_color=\"#FFFFFF\" custom_margin=\"20px|auto|20px|auto|true|false\" custom_padding=\"25px|25px|25px|25px|true|true\" border_width_all=\"1px\" border_color_all=\"#8e8d8d\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_heading title=\"The Latin American Neurotology Journal Club\" _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" title_level=\"h4\" title_font=\"|700||on|||||\" title_text_align=\"center\" title_text_color=\"#093049\" title_font_size=\"26px\" title_letter_spacing=\"5px\" max_width=\"1366px\" custom_margin=\"||2px||false|false\" custom_padding=\"||||false|false\" title_text_align_tablet=\"center\" title_text_align_phone=\"center\" title_text_align_last_edited=\"off|desktop\" title_font_size_tablet=\"44px\" title_font_size_phone=\"30px\" title_font_size_last_edited=\"on|phone\" title_text_shadow_style=\"preset1\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/aro.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image005.png\" title_text=\"image005\" align=\"center\" _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" width=\"300px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" link_font=\"|700|||||||\" link_text_color=\"#093049\" text_orientation=\"justified\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p>\n<p>The Latin American Neurotology Journal Club, was created in 2020 as an initiative by two otolaryngologists to keep updated on field related news and have virtual academic meetings with colleagues. Known neurotologists and other professionals from Latin America are members of this group. Currently, this group is the first academic space for articles discussion and academic exchange between professionals from different areas related to Neurology and Vestibular disorders in Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>Every meeting, one article of a different topic is discussed. Topics are elected by poll and all members read the article for general discussion. Additionally, other specialists, such as Endocrinologists, Gynecologists and Neurologists are invited for some meetings in order to solve questions about related topics and complimentary management of some diseases (i.e D-vitamin use and treatment in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). From the discussions, ideas related to collaborations and research have been emerged. Some members have also shown their current on-course research works to the rest of the group to have feedback from other colleagues around the region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Latin American Neurotology Journal Club meets every third Wednesday at 8:30 PM (EST) via Zoom.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For questions and to get involved, please contact ARO\/spARO Member, Melissa Castillo-Bustamante at <a href=\"mailto:Melissa_castillobustamante@meei.harvard.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Melissa_castillobustamante@meei.harvard.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_color=\"#FFFFFF\" custom_margin=\"20px|auto|20px|auto|true|false\" custom_padding=\"25px|25px|25px|25px|true|true\" border_width_all=\"1px\" border_color_all=\"#8e8d8d\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_heading title=\"Vestibular Cafe Podcast\" _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" title_level=\"h4\" title_font=\"|700||on|||||\" title_text_align=\"center\" title_text_color=\"#093049\" title_font_size=\"26px\" title_letter_spacing=\"5px\" max_width=\"1366px\" custom_margin=\"||2px||false|false\" custom_padding=\"||||false|false\" title_text_align_tablet=\"center\" title_text_align_phone=\"center\" title_text_align_last_edited=\"off|desktop\" title_font_size_tablet=\"44px\" title_font_size_phone=\"30px\" title_font_size_last_edited=\"on|phone\" title_text_shadow_style=\"preset1\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" link_font=\"|700|||||||\" link_text_color=\"#093049\" text_orientation=\"justified\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p>\n<p>The Vestibular Cafe is one podcast led by Latin American healthcare professionals and researchers focused on highlighting the journey and challenges of healthcare providers dedicated to balance and vestibular disorders<\/p>\n<p>The podcast talks about several topics on leadership, mentoring, challenges on healthcare attention and research but on an easygoing way.
