This week we share the second in an ongoing series of Doc Talk Live! episodes recorded in front of an audience at the Matthews Opera House and Art Center in Spearfish. Loren Jones, M.D., Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon at Spearfish Clinic, North Avenue, discusses sleep apnea and answers questions from the crowd. Dr. Jones shares his expertise on treatments for sleep apnea, focusing on Inspire Therapy, an exciting alternative to C-PAP machines.
Even though they are trained in slightly different disciplines, Rapid City father and son practitioners, Vaughan Bowen, M.D., Otolaryngologist, and Logan Bowen, Au.D, Audiology, often work as a team. In this episode of Doc Talk, they explain the differences between their specific jobs, discuss how the human ear works and drill down on the vexatious hearing condition, tinnitus, which Dr. Bowen calls “brain noise.” Dr. Bowen and Logan address the different manifestations of tinnitus, how to overcome symptoms, and why tinnitus is not always a sign of hearing loss.
