About Ear Lab Notes

Ear Lab Notes is a brand-editorial project. We translate publicly available hearing-health research into plain-language notes that anyone can read.

What we publish

Each note summarizes peer-reviewed studies, government health agencies (NIH/NIDCD, NHS UK, NIOSH), and clinical societies (AAO-HNS, Mayo Clinic). We name sources at the bottom of every article. We do not interview patients, we do not run clinical trials, and we are not a clinic.

Editorial framing

We are an editorial desk, not licensed practitioners. Articles are signed "Ear Lab Notes editorial desk" rather than with a fabricated author or persona. We do not claim medical credentials we do not have.

What we will not do

• Recommend supplements, devices, or treatments by name as cures.
• Diagnose your symptoms or replace a consultation with an audiologist or ENT.
• Run sponsored content or accept payments to alter article framing.
• Use a fabricated "Dr. X" persona to lend false authority to articles.

Ownership and disclosure

This site is an experimental editorial project published independently. There is no parent medical organization. Operating cost is covered by the publisher. If we ever accept advertising, sponsorship, or affiliate revenue, it will be disclosed at the top of any affected article and on this page.

Corrections

If you find an error, please write to our correction line. We will publish a dated correction at the top of the article and note the change in our changelog.

What our images are

The diagrams, audiograms, and charts on this site are original editorial illustrations generated from published data (e.g. NIOSH decibel exposure tables, ISO 7029 hearing-thresholds, standard audiogram axes). They are licensed for fair editorial use within Ear Lab Notes only.
