Science Fair Problem Statement

Content;
1.Senior project topic: Head and Neck Surgery/ENT

2. Increased hearing loss over time due to noise (occupational/entertainment). By hearing, for example, an Ipod at the maximum volume daily, over time (span of 10 years) this can lead to hearing loss, especially in teenagers. This is a problem that should not occur since at that certain age, they should not be experiencing hearing loss. Occupational hearing loss is when machinery/tools around your work are causing harm to your ear, and thus cause hearing loss over time. When I solve this problem, I will be able to educate the entire community by seeing if a doctor, or audiologist will be able to help me publish my findings (American Academy of Otolaryngology) , or create headphones/earphones/hearing aids that will effectively help patients that have hearing loss due to occupational or entertainment hearing loss.

3.Another problem in Head and Neck Surgery/ENT is what would be the most effective way to remove facial/skin cancer, either using chemotherapy or surgery. Although both options have it's benefits when removing facial/skin cancer, I want to find out which treatment effectively removes all of  the facial/skin cancer, or which treatment has better results, when concerning the overall health of the patient.When I solve this problem, I would want to see if I can publish my data (American Academy of Otolaryngology, with a doctor's help.
