CONCLUSION: While declines in stapedectomy surgery have been well reported, here we show steady declines in ossiculoplasty as well. If these trends continue, more cochlear implantations may be performed annually than stapedectomy and ossiculoplasty

A suite of natural, synthetic, and mixed synthetic-natural woven fabrics, along with nonwoven filtration layers from a surgical mask and an N95 respirator, was examined using visible light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and micro-X-ray
