Lecture: The influence of gender on diagnostics and therapy in ear, nose and throat medicine
Language: German
Sex and gender have a significant influence on the manifestation, perception and treatment of diseases in ENT medicine. Men are more likely to suffer from noise-induced high-frequency hearing loss, while women are more sensitive to hormonal changes, such as those associated with age-related hearing loss. Gender-specific diagnostics and individualised therapy improve care and quality of life - for both sexes.
