Doctor Timothy W. Wheeler and six fellow ear surgeons recently submitted a proposal to their national specialist society, the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS).
The seven ear doctors wanted their academy to support their new policy endorsing firearm suppressors for hearing protection.
The docs had tried it before but failed. Some of their members called them “gun nuts.” However, the seven coauthors are a powerful group – ear, nose and throat surgeons with more than a century of combined practice experience.
“Four of us are even further specialized in ear problems and are fellowship-trained neurotologists, who operate only on the ear and base of skull,” Wheeler pointed out in an email.
