In February 2013, the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) released its list of 5 recommendations of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions that physicians and patients should question, as part of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Foundation's Choosing Wisely campaign. This commentary outlines the impetus for the AAO-HNSF to join the campaign, our list of 5 recommendations, how they were developed, and our future involvement with the campaign. The AAO-HNSF's 5 recommendations are (1) don't order a computed tomography (CT) scan of the head/brain for sudden hearing loss, (2) don't prescribe oral antibiotics for uncomplicated acute tympanostomy tube otorrhea, (3) don't prescribe oral antibiotics for uncomplicated acute external otitis, (4) don't routinely obtain radiographic imaging for patients who meet diagnostic criteria for uncomplicated acute rhinosinusitis, and (5) don't obtain CT or magnetic resonance imaging in patients with a primary complaint of hoarseness prior to examining the larynx.
