Congratulations to Dr. Trung Le on being the first person from a Canadian University to receive the Triological Society Career Development Award for his project "Magnetic Targeting Delivery of Neurotrophic Gene Therapy for the Treatment of Hearing Loss.” Bravo! 🎉🎉 #OHNS #UofT

Is there a more important #HearingLoss outcome than health-related quality of life? Patient-reported outcome measures are only as good as the questions they ask. Next time you administer a PROM, consider what you might be missing using this list. #ContentValidity @JAMAOto
