Stay Home. This isn’t a suggestion. It’s not a consideration. It should be your way of life. You will save lives when you do this. It may be your grandparents’ lives, your parents, your favorite doctor’s or your own. Go for a Hike. Play the Piano or learn guitar. Mold some clay. Binge watch your favorite show. Paint. Start planting your spring garden. Whatever you do... Don’t be part of the problem. You and your loved ones are not immune. This isn’t a partisan game. This is real. As doctors, it is our duty to enforce this new way of life. It will not last forever, but this is our reality now. Pacific Coast ENT is still open for emergency visits only at this time. We also have video and telemedicine visits available as well. You will not be abandoned. We are here. Please Stay Safe. -

"The brain is really a wet, sloppy drum machine," "It's desperately seeking rhythms.(...) "Sound gets into our brains and processed so quickly that it shapes all other perceptions", says neuroscientist Seth Horowitz, Ph.D. "You hear anywhere from 20 to 100 times faster than you see."

Listening to NPR on the way to work this morning, I became intrigued with a story. Listening closely, I heard a familiar voice, and it was Dr. Seth Horowitz a colleague of mine from the hearing laboratory and Brown University many years ago. From researching in Providence, RI to living in New York at the inception of his company Neuropop where he was holding sound and light concerts that would manipulate how your brain would function (in a good way) to his fascinating book... it's incredible where sound, engineering, evolution and life can lead you!

Antibiotics are frequently over-prescribed for sinus infections. An exceptional new guideline was released this week from the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery for diagnosing sinusitis. While it is ok to allow your body to take care of sinusitis caused by a virus, please note that if you have any change in vision, worsening headaches, progressive fevers, facial swelling or change in mental status, you should seek medical help urgently.

The nation's ear, nose and throat doctors want people to diagnose sinus infections themselves in an effort to reduce overuse of antibiotics. They're telling you how.
