?? Shining a Light on Innovation! ?? We couldn't be prouder to celebrate our incredible team members, Patrick Esmonde, MSE, and Helena Esmonde, PT, DPT, for their spotlight feature in ENT & Audiology News! ?? Their groundbreaking work in creating illuminated and interactive 3D models of the cochlea and vestibular apparatus is transforming how students, clinicians, and patients understand the complex anatomy of the inner ear. By combining 3D printing, LED tech, and motion-sensing modules, they’ve made learning intuitive, engaging, and hands-on. ?? “While my initial goal was to create something entertaining and functional, I soon realized how beneficial these models could be in both education and patient care.” said Patrick. From enhancing the learning experience for medical students to empowering patients to understand their conditions, Patrick and Helena’s models show that innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about making a meaningful difference. Join us in celebrating their passion, dedication, and the impact they’re having on healthcare education! ?? Read more about their work here: https://lnkd.in/eKkHqsab ENT and Audiology News

Did you know that vestibular rehab helps balance and gait in patients after stroke (Calisgan and Talu, 2024)? If these multi-directional head and body movements + balance challenges are too easy, a folded yoga mat or foam pad under foot could increase the difficulty. Join Vestibular First co-founder Dr. Helena Esmonde PT, DPT, NCS and Dr. Leonardo Manzari, M.D. in our upcoming Journal Club on the Suppression Head Impulse Paradigm. Dr. Manzari, a lecturer at Pisa University specializing in vestibular medicine, has published extensively in otoneurology.
